When used appropriately, the full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) makes for a simple and aesthetically acceptable reconstruction option for nasal defects. Defects of the nasal sidewall and dorsum are well suited for FTSG provided that conscientious skin matching and surgical technique are undertaken.

Full-thickness skin grafts are a commonly used reconstructive method following Mohs micrographic surgery. The literature varies on the most appropriate methods of suturing and securing grafts as well as best practices to dress the graft postoperatively.

2023年7月24日 · Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSGs) consist of complete epidermis and dermis, whereas partial-thickness skin grafts (PTSG) include the entire epidermis and only partial dermis.

This study presents the postoperative results of 542 patients who underwent the FTSG repair to reconstruct nasal defects, demonstrating that FTSGs represent a viable, cosmetically sound reconstruction option regardless of the nasal subunit .

Pre or post auricular skin grafts can be applied in the thin skin zones of the nose (dorsum, side wall or columella). A full thickness forehead skin graft should be used in the thicker skin zones of the tip and ala.

Full-thickness skin graft to the nose (FTSG) is a surgical procedure to correct a nasal defect through reconstruction. There are a few reasons why patients may consider getting a skin graft, including burns, infection, cancer, or skin loss due to tumor removal.

BACKGROUND: Full-thickness skin grafting (FTSG) is an option for reconstruction of nasal defects. OBJECTIVE: To correlate the clinical outcome of FTSG on the nose with donor site, location of the defect, and defect size. METHODS: Patients with FTSG on the nose following Mohs' micrographic surgery were enrolled.

Full-thickness skin grafts (FTSG) are indicated as a repair consideration for surgical defects that cannot be apposed primarily or with a flap, and where healing by second intention is likely to result in poor cosmesis or functional deficits.

Full thickness skin grafting (FTSG) in nasal reconstruction, especially for defects located at the lower third of the nose, is commonly used. Although many still consider this closure method inferior, the outcome of a FTSG, when appropriately applied, can be acceptable for the patient.
