Methods A cranially-based nasolabial flap was used in 18 patients to reconstruct defects of the nose from 2010 to 2016, and the long-term results are presented in this report. Results Fifteen of the flaps completely survived. All the patients had a bulky appearance, but they did not want to undergo a second operation for cosmesis. The dissection of the flap took approximately 20 minutes, and the total operation lasted for 1 hour. The patients were hospitalized for 1–7 days, and the postoperative follow-up period was 1–28 months (mean, 17 months). Conclusions The cranially-based nasolabial flap possesses all the advantages of the traditional forehead flap, and can safely be used in selected cases. © 2018 The Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons.EnglishAll Open Access; Gold Open Access; Green Open Accessantibiotic agentadultagedArticlebasal cell carcinomacancer diagnosiscancer therapycase reportclinical articlefemalefollow uphospitalizationhumanhuman tissuemalemiddle agednasal biopsynasolabial flapnose cancernose reconstructionpostoperative caretissue flaptumor volumevenous congestionvery elderlyArticle10.5999/aps.2017.00689
