Abstract
The reconstruction of nasal defects following oncologic resection has traditionally involved the use of locoregional flaps or full-thickness skin grafts. However, these options are not always feasible because of limitations in donor tissues, defect size or shape, oncologic issues, or patient preference. Reconstruction in this setting has been limited and unsatisfactory. In this report, the authors present their experience in reconstruction of nasal defects using the dermal regeneration template Integra. In most cases, reconstruction with Integra enabled a single-stage, satisfactory reconstruction. The authors present a simple, standardized technique for application and postoperative care, which has resulted in good aesthetic outcomes. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: Therapeutic, IV.
