ABSTRACT

Defects of the nasal dorsum secondary to oncological surgery have various reconstruction options, such as direct closure, grafts, or flaps of multiple designs. For defects of 1.5 to 2.5 cm, the upper-based Rintala flap has been used as a suitable option, as it has the advantage of preserving the integrity of the esthetic subunits. The modified Rintala flap, by adding skin from the lower portion, allows us to close even more significant defects since it is a double advancement flap that preserves the integrity of the cosmetic subunits. We present the case of a 71-year-old patient with an infiltrating basal cell carcinoma in the dorsum of the nose, which resolved favorably with this technique.
