This retrospective study describes the reconstruction of 18 nasal defects with chondrocutaneous (composite) grafts. Composite grafts are versatile one-stage options for defects ≤2.5 cm at the lower third of the nose and are particularly useful in reconstruction of small full-thickness defects and superficial defects bordering or involving the alar rim.
Keywords: Alar reconstruction; chondrocutaneous graft; composite graft; facial reconstruction; nasal reconstruction.
