Abstract:ObjectiveTo summarize our experience on primary flap repair of local defects caused by the radical excision of basal cell carcinoma in the region of nasal root.MethodsClinical data of 22 patients suffering from basal cell carcinoma of nasal root radically excised followed with primary flap repair of local defect in our department between Sept. 2007 and Sept. 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. For the primary repair and reconstruction, several types of local flaps were adopted.ResultsThe local flaps survived in all 22 cases. Followup for 6 to 12 months revealed satisfactory appearance without neoplasm recurrence.ConclusionsOn the basis of radical excision of basal cell carcinoma of nasal root, various kinds of flaps can be designed and the most appropriate one should be chosen to repair the defect according to its location, range and size. With advantages of definite blood supply, relatively high survival rate, flexible acquisition as well as simplicity and convenience in operation, local flap provides satisfactory therapeutic regimen for repair of defect caused by nasal tumor excision.
