[Reconstruction of a transfixing partial loss of substance from the wing of nose with the upper pedicled nasolabial flap].
The reconstruction of the wing of the nose is a surgical challenge. The aim of the reconstruction is both aesthetic and functional. The nasolabial flap with upper pedicule returned, described by Préaux in 1994, appears to be successful for this challenge. The advantages of this flap include simplicity, reliability, one-step procedure and good results. Nevertheless it presents functional and aesthetic disadvantages. We present a variant which allows to correct these disadvantages.
