Large defects of the nasal tip with exposure of the underlying cartilage pose a significant reconstructive challenge to the plastic surgeon. Objective: This article presents a case of a large nasal tip defect following basal cell excision that was successfully treated with Integra bilayer wound matrix and skin grafting. Methods: Following tumor excision, meshed Integra bilayer wound matrix was placed over the exposed nasal tip cartilage. After 4 weeks, the silicone layer was removed and a full-thickness graft placed on the nasal tip. Results: This reconstruction resulted in the restoration of patient's nasal tip with good contour and color match without the need for a forehead flap. Conclusion: This demonstrates the reconstructive potential of this modality in patients who are not candidates for reconstruction with a forehead flap. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
