[Does the anesthesia method modify the results of dermatologic surgery of the nose?].
Since dermatosurgery has become a generally acknowledged subsection of dermatology, it seems strange that we have got so little account regarding the influences of anesthesia on the results of plastic surgery in the antrofacial region. A long-term follow-up of 139 patients, who had received regional flaps or free grafts because of tumors of the nose, revealed that the functional and esthetic results of operations carried out in local anesthesia were perfectly comparable with those in general anesthesia. We recommend local anesthesia because of its easy handling and little complications even in elderly polymorbid patients.
