Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript details a complex reconstructive nasal surgery involving a forehead flap to repair a nostril defect. The procedure begins with marking and elevating a flap over the supratrochlear artery, ensuring its length using a gauze tape measure. Local anesthesia is applied peripherally, and the flap is incised and rotated onto the nose without tension. The surgery includes handling soft tissue, ensuring vascular supply, and eventually inserting a cartilage graft harvested from the ear. The aim is to create a natural nostril margin and an open airway, with careful suturing and healing processes detailed throughout the procedure.
