Background |
Adjacent defects are commonly encountered during Mohs micrographic surgery for nasal skin cancers and often present a formidable reconstructive challenge.
Objective |
This article will describe similar modifications of both the bilobed and nasolabial transposition flaps’ Burow’s triangles that allow for the repair of two adjacent defects of the distal nose using a single flap.
Methods |
This is a report of two similar reconstructive cases after Mohs micrographic surgery requiring the repair of adjacent nasal defects.
Results |
Both cases demonstrate the feasibility of this technique.
Limitations |
This technique is based on two case reports.
Conclusions |
Traditional transposition flaps’ Burow’s triangles can be effectively modified for the repair of properly selected adjacent wounds of the distal nose.
