Abstract :
OBJECTIVE: to share our experience of nasolabial flaps METHODS: About 25 patients were diagnosed with carcinoma ala of the nose in the period of January 2015 – December 2016.Following confirmation of diagnosis pathologically, the patients were subjected to wide local excision,followed by reconstruction using nasolabial flaps .we followed the patients post operatively for 3 months and evaluated the outcome. RESULTS: Of the 25 patients 10 patients were male and 15 were female. The age group was between 42 and 63 yrs and mean was 52.5 yrs. 21(84%) patients had basal cell carcinoma,4(16%)patients had squamous cell carcinoma. Superior based flap was used in 19 [76%] patients and islanded flap was used in 6[24%]patients. The flap settled well in all cases except in 3 cases which were bulkier,2 cases with flap tip necrosis. CONCLUSION: In our experience ,the nasolabial flap appears to be the best choice for alar reconstruction with easier dissection ,good reliability, and better cosmetic outcome.
