title: [Twenty-six clinical case analysis of defect repairing after the resection of basal cell carcinoma on external nose].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study a surgical and repairing method for defects after the resection of basal cell carcinoma of external nose.
  
  
  METHODS
  There are 26 cases of basal cell carcinoma that tumors have been resected completely after operation. For defect repairing in those 26 cases, 2 cases adopt direct suture method; 2 cases use skin graft repairing methods; 18 cases employ naselabial skin flap repairing method; 4 cases choose forehead pedicle skin flap repairing methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the wound of all the 26 cases was primary healed. Additionally, skin flap and skin graft were all survived. Follow-up studied in patients 1 to 3 years after the surgery showed that the local scar was not obvious and no tumor recurred or transferred.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Different surgical and repairing methods are performed to obtain a satisfactory results based on the area of defect and its location in nose. Naselabial skin flap is especially an ideal method to repair defects.
