title: Reconstruction of the defects in the middle of the nose with subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap: report of two cases.
abstract: Two cases with basal cell carcinomas on the middle of the nose were treated by using subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap. There were no partial or total flap losses in either case and neither of the cases had local recurrence during the follow-up period. The subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial flap should be considered to be an alternative to the paramedian forehead flap for the reconstruction of defects on the middle of the nose. In this article two cases in whom subcutaneous pedicled nasolabial island flap method was applied for the reconstruction of middle defects of the nose are presented in the light of the literature.
