摘要
The paramedian forehead flap is renowned for its versatility and can cover a wide range of nasal defect sizes. Most of the literature discussing outcomes of paramedian forehead flap reconstructions focuses on morbidity at the recipient site. Frontal bone exposure resulting from the use of the paramedian forehead flap is a rare but possible complication, especially when periosteum overlying the bone is damaged during surgery or during healing by secondary intention due to desiccation. In this case, a 53-year-old female underwent nasal reconstruction with a paramedian forehead flap for an extensive nasal defect after Mohs surgery and resection of residual basal cell carcinoma. She missed her postoperative follow-up visit, and her frontal bone was noted to be exposed before the division of the pedicle procedure. During the division of the pedicle, the frontal bone was burred, and a bilayer dermal regeneration matrix was applied. She underwent a split-thickness skin grafting from her thigh at 4 weeks. The graft take was 100%, and wound closure was achieved with an acceptable cosmetic outcome. The successful resolution of the complication through innovative surgical interventions highlights the importance of adaptive surgical strategies and thorough postoperative care, aiming to contribute to the existing body of knowledge and improve future clinical practices in reconstructive surgery.
