Trans-nasal flap for medial canthal reconstruction.
The trans-nasal flap is an effective method for repairing medial canthal defects following Mohs' surgery. This procedure transposes redundant skin from the nasal bridge into the defect. The construction of the flap, which minimizes the risk of medial canthal webbing, yielded excellent cosmetic results in 22 patients.
