U084 Nasal Alar Reconstruction: Simple and Complex Approaches to Common Defects
DESCRIPTION
Open admission to eligible categories, no tuition or ticket
Despite their frequency, the reconstruction of alar defects can be challenging for even experienced surgeons. In this session a comprehensive approach to alar reconstruction will be presented. All aspects related to alar reconstruction will be discussed including defect selection, various reconstructive methods (including second intention healing; skin and cartilage grafting; local flaps; and staged and interpolated flaps), surgical technique, post-operative care, and methods to improve and revise results. We will also focus on comparing the use of both simple and complex methods for reconstructing the same defect.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Utilize a variety of techniques for alar reconstruction.
Compare and contrast different techniques for reconstruction of a given alar defect.
Develop an algorithm to apply when deciding how to approach an alar defect.
