Abstract
Nasal vestibule stenosis is a rare deformity that can be either congenital or acquired. Various surgical techniques for reconstruction have been described, including the use of skin grafts, composite grafts, and local tissue rearrangement. We present a novel approach using 2 V-Y indwelling advancement flaps. The flaps are raised from the columella and the nostril sill, using local nasal tissue adjacent to the stenotic area. This technique provides sufficient elongation of the nostril diameter on the stenotic site, ensures well-vascularized tissue (flap-only reconstruction) that prevents restenosis, and achieves aesthetically pleasing results. Follow-up at 12 and 24 months postoperatively showed no restenosis with a satisfactory aesthetic result and patient satisfaction.
期刊介绍：
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open is an open access, peer reviewed, international journal focusing on global plastic and reconstructive surgery.Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open publishes on all areas of plastic and reconstructive surgery, including basic science/experimental studies pertinent to the field and also clinical articles on such topics as: breast reconstruction, head and neck surgery, pediatric and craniofacial surgery, hand and microsurgery, wound healing, and cosmetic and aesthetic surgery. Clinical studies, experimental articles, ideas and innovations, and techniques and case reports are all welcome article types. Manuscript submission is open to all surgeons, researchers, and other health care providers world-wide who wish to communicate their research results on topics related to plastic and reconstructive surgery. Furthermore, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open, a complimentary journal to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, provides an open access venue for the publication of those research studies sponsored by private and public funding agencies that require open access publication of study results. Its mission is to disseminate high quality, peer reviewed research in plastic and reconstructive surgery to the widest possible global audience, through an open access platform. As an open access journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery—Global Open offers its content for free to any viewer. Authors of articles retain their copyright to the materials published.
