Abstract:Nasal defect reconstruction is one of the major challenges in clinical reconstructive surgery. In the process of reconstruction, the layered restoration of the three structures including the external skin, the supporting framework, and the nasal lining must be fully considered. Reconstruction of the lining structure is a critical step for successful nasal defect repair. Appropriate lining reconstruction can effectively prevent nasal infections, contractures affecting nasal appearance, and nasal cavity stenosis, thereby achieving simultaneous aesthetic and functional nasal reconstruction. The methodology for nasal lining reconstruction has undergone a long process of development, progressing from simplicity to complexity and from singularity to diversity.. Therefore, this review focuses on nasal lining reconstruction methods, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques and reconstruction skills, aiming to provide practical clinical insights for nasal defect reconstruction.
