Abstract

To the Editor: The nose is a common location for skin cancer, with surgical resection being the treatment of choice. However, nasal reconstruction can be challenging due to the unique three-dimensional structure of the nose. A graft is often performed when a simple approach may result in undesirable distortion and when a flap is unfavorable due to prior scars or poor skin quality. In addition to traditional skin grafts, skin substitutes are increasingly being used in reconstructive surgery.1 The Integra dermal regeneration template (Integra; Integra LifeSciences) is a skin substitute that was recently shown to result to favorable aesthetic outcomes following a single-stage method for nasal defect reconstructions.
