Abstract

The nose maintains a central importance in both functional and aesthetic human anatomy. With such importance comes numerous possible defects with equally plentiful techniques available for repair. One of the most common causes for nasal reconstruction is Mohs micrographic surgery to excise basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Generally, these procedures create small defects which can be repaired via skin graft or flaps with possible assistance from biologic agents.
