Anatomical alar reconstruction with staged nasolabial flap.

The nasolabial flap has for many years been an excellent choice for reconstruction of the nasal ala following excision of skin cancer or trauma. When done as a single-stage procedure the result can be a nonaesthetic appearing mass. We propose an initial excision with flap inset and a second procedure for debulking and contouring the alar groove to complete reconstruction of the aesthetic unit. Representative cases are presented.

Basal Cell Carcinoma

Mohs' chemosurgery and skin cancer.

Experience in treating 1, 275 skin cancers with Mohs' chemosurgery is presented. The Mohs technic uses microscopic examination to avoid excision of normal tissue and assure complete removal of the tumor. Chemosurgery is indicated for tumors which are poorly demarcated or which arise in areas known to have a high recurrence rate. It is the procedure of choice for almost all recurrent lesions.
