Bilobed flap utility for local defects due to facial basal cell carcinoma. Case reports. Instituto de Prevision Social

Abstract

Basal cell carcinoma is a common condition throughout medical centers in Paraguay. The nasal alar region is disadvantaged compared to other body regions due to prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, these tumors generally have a good prognosis. The lack of nodal dissemination and distant metastasis makes them quite manageable. The bilobed flap is an excellent option for small defects in this region; it is practical and yields excellent aesthetic results.
