title: [Modified Texier mediodorsal transposition island skin flap of the nose. Report of four cases of ala nasi reconstruction].
abstract: First described by Texier in 1994, the mediodorsal transposition flap of the nose is an island flap. The paramedian dorsal arteries (anastomosed to the interdomal plexus) ensured the axial vascularisation in SMAS plane. The authors will discuss their personal approach to the surgical procedure for the improvement of final result, with four clinical cases. This flap can be used for aesthetic unit reconstruction of cutaneous or mucosal different alar defect (partial or complete, full-thickness or not). This reliable flap represents an alternative technique of composed grafts, of different nasolabial flaps, and of forehead flap.
