[The myocutaneous flap of the nasal transverse muscle].
The reconstruction of the nasal tip give difficulties. The nasal myocutaneous flap seems a good solution. We have studied twenty fresh corpses after injection of coloured latex and barium. This flap and its vascular pedicle were constant. We describe the technique. We used this flap on thirteen patients. The indications are the cutaneous lesions of the middle of the nasal tip or the nostrils. The results are excellent because this flap respects the anatomical unit of the nose. The morphological and esthetical results are excellent.
