Abstract
Transposition flaps are old but are the method of choice in reconstruction of defects of the dorsum of the nose. Eleven consecutive patients with such defects were treated with 22 transposition flaps. The nasal defects result ed from tumour (n = 9), trauma (n = 1), and keratoacanthoma (n = 1). The di ssection is rapid, easy and the complication rate is low.
