dc.description.abstractFull-thickness defects of the nose result in severe esthetic and functional problems. Regardless of the etiology of such defects, the complexity of the reconstruction process of full-thickness defects of this region is not correlated with the size of the defect. Local flaps are frequently used for reconstruction but often yielding facial scarring and bulky alae. Composite helical grafts are used for relatively small defects but defects of more than 2.0 cm in diameter require vascularized tissue transfer. Composite free flap from the root of the auricular helix has been used to reconstruct an anatomically diverse set of defects of the distal third of the nose, with satisfactory success in our series of 6 patients.en_US
