A reversed-dermis Tagliacotian flap in the reconstruction of a badly burned nose.
A reversed-dermis Tagliacotian type of flap was used to resurface and reconstruct the nose in a boy with very extensive burns in whom there was very little "normal" skin available. It was possible to divide the flap and inset it on the sixth day. The result, after 1 year follow-up, was gratifying to both the patient and the surgeon.
