title: [Extensive rhinectomy. Apropos of 7 cases].
abstract: We report our experience in reconstructive surgery after total rhinectomy. Reconstructive surgery is performed after large excision and negative marginal biopsy results. The three layers of the nose (mucosal, osteocartilagineous and cutaneous) are restored by mucosal and cutaneous flaps and osteocartilaginous grafts. Carcinologic and cosmetic results are satisfactory but functional results may yet be improved.
