Comparison between Methods of Reconstruction after Nasal BCC Skin Excision

1. Abstract

1.1. Background: Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is the most common malignant cutaneous lesion affecting the nose. With the rising incidence of skin cancers, plastic surgeons increasingly face nasal reconstruction challenges after excision of BCC, and in addition to size and depth of the tumor, aesthetic considerations such as color, contour, skin consistency, nose retraction and scarring plays a major role in selecting the type of nasal tumor reconstruction surgery in order to obtain natural function and a beautiful appearing nose.
