This paper presents a retrospective analysis of 14 patients, 8 female and 6 male, in whom free pericranium grafts were used in order to restore postsurgery or posttraumatic nasal defects. There were no complications from either the donor or the recipient site. The early and medium term results were satisfactory. It is concluded that free pericranium, compared with other autografts, is a good alternative due to its several advantages and hardly any disadvantages. In selected cases it can even be the material of choice. | lld:pubmed |
