[Indications for the Schmid-Meyer frontal-temporal flap for nasal reconstruction. Four clinical cases].
The fronto-temporal flap described by Schmid and modified by Meyer is a tubular flap with an internal supraciliary pedicle which allows the transposition of the temporal skin with the addition of ear cartilage on the tip of the nose or the ala nasi. This meticulous reconstruction requires four stages which are workable under local anesthesia. Four clinical cases allow to specify the advantages and the drawbacks of this technique. They place this technique in the therapeutic possibilities between the composite grafts and various local and distant flaps.
