[The principle of nasal defects repair based on the frontal and temporal vessels anatomy].
After dissection of 9 corpes' (18 sides) vessels of the forehead, nose and temporal, we have discovered that the superatrochlear arteries run upward bilaterally, the branches of the supertrochelear arteries, the superficial branches of the supraorbital arteries and the front branches of the superficial temporal form a network--the frontal artery anastomotic net. The main trank and the parital branches of the superficial temporal arteries give off 2-3 ear branches. Based on these findings, we have made a series of explor atire researches, designed several new kinds of skin flaps for repairing the nasal defects, and improved a number traditional skin flaps. Guided by the above mentioned principles, we have successfully reconstructed 32 different kinds of nasal defects and achieved good results.
