title: Transposition island pedicle flaps in the reconstruction of nasal and perinasal defects.
abstract: Nasal and perinasal defects provide the dermatologic surgeon a challenge. It is necessary that the dermatologic surgeon assess each defect and patient individually for optimal repair. Many reconstructive options exist. This report demonstrates the technique of the transposition island pedicle flap which may be useful for reconstruction of post-Mohs surgery defects on or near the nose.
