title: Island inner canthal and glabellar flaps for nasal tip reconstruction.
abstract: A series of inner canthal and glabellar island flaps for nasal tip reconstruction based on the angular artery and vein is presented. These flaps have the advantages of providing well vascularised tissue of the appropriate colour, texture and thickness for external skin and vestibular lining, with a wide arc of rotation and satisfactory donor site defect, in a single stage procedure.
