This comprehensive session equips surgeons with the knowledge and techniques needed to master the paramedian forehead flap—a cornerstone in nasal and midface reconstruction. Participants will review the detailed surgical anatomy essential to flap design, including vascular supply and tissue dynamics. The session will cover appropriate clinical indications, from complex oncologic defects to traumatic reconstruction, with emphasis on optimizing functional and aesthetic outcomes. Faculty will share proven methods to minimize complications, highlighting flap planning, staging strategies, and intraoperative decision-making. Whether new to the technique or refining existing skills, attendees will gain actionable insights to enhance their reconstructive practice.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the surgical anatomy of the paramedian forehead flap
- Understand appropriate indications for the paramedian forehead flap
- Discuss techniques to avoid complications with a paramedian forehead flap
