A modification of the transverse forked flap to allow three-dimensional columella reconstruction.

摘要: The original transverse forked flap is effective in reconstructing the anterior wall of columella a single stage without leaving noticeable secondary deformity. A modification was done to allow reconstruction lateral walls addition. This three-dimensional will provide enough coverage for cartilage graft if used. applied three patients with defects. costal used one these patients. All flaps survived and donor site scarring unnoticeable. Elevation base allowed using it reconstruct while sparing wings columella.
