The « Cascade Flap » of Emmet: Case Report

Abstract

The nose is a central organ of the face. There is many technics to reconstruct a loss of substance about the tip of the nose, from local to regional flap, to remote one. This case is about an old patient who benefited from tumor excision of a nodular basal cell carcinoma in the tip of the nose. The “cascade flap” of Emmet is a very good technic to rebuild a loss of substance that affects the tip of the nose up to 30mm of diameter. The surgical technic is simple and reproducible. And the scars are well camouflaged
