Purpose: evaluate the results of the reconstruction of large nasal dorsum skin damage by paramedian forhead flap after CBC resection and show the interest of this flap. Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study, during 2 years, of 15 patients undergoing basal cell carcinoma of the nose. They benefited from tumor exeresis and immediate forehead flap reconstruction. Results: The average age of our patients was 63.2 years. Male predominance was noted. The nasal dorsum was the most affected unit, and sometimes was extended to the nasal tip. The average size of the skin defects was between 30 and 40 mm. The paramedian forehead flap was used in all patients. The aesthetic and functional results were considered satisfactory. Conclusion: The Paramedian forhead flap remains the workhorse of repair of large skin defects of nasal dorsum, sometimes extended to the tip, after the excision of basal cell carcinomas.
