Abstract
AbstractFor small defects of the anterior nasal ala, a V‐Y pedicle advancement flap within the subunit is a useful repair option. Here we propose a modification of this technique, utilising careful dissection to identify inferior perforators of the superior alar artery. Basing this flap on a visualised vascular pedicle aims to prevent common complications of internal mucosal buckling and free margin notching, by allowing more extensive dissection without compromising the vascularity of the flap.
