다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Background: Nasal defects repairing is one of the most challenging aspects of cutaneous reconstruction. Melolabial interpolation flap (MIF) should be considered in one of the available surgical options to provide for the best postoperative outcome. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and cosmetic outcomes of MIF for the reconstruction of nasal defects after basal cell carcinoma (BCC) excision. Methods: Between 2003 and 2013, 26 patients were received by MIF for reconstruction of nasal defects of BCC after Mohs surgery or wide excision. We reviewed surgical techniques, complications, and final cosmetic results. Post-operative results were assessed with serial clinical photographs, physicians` objective records and patients` subjective records. Results: The size of surgical defects was ranged from 0.5 to 3.0 cm in their greatest diameter. Most of the patients involved more than 2 cosmetic subunits after excision. Frequent involved sites were nasal tip and nasal ala. There were no significant complications. And the cosmetic outcomes were considered as good or excellent in most of patients. Conclusion: MIF is regarded as the recommended technique for the repair of mid to large nasal defects, especially involving nasal ala, providing excellent cosmetic results with few complications.
