Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical repair methods of different types of flaps for external nasal defects,and to evaluate their effects.Methods From May 2014 to May 2024,53 patients with different types of nasal defects were selected to be retrospectively analyzed.These defects of the external nose have been reconstructed by different flaps including limberg skin flap,Rieger flap,bilateral lobe flap,nasolabial flap,auricular composite tissue flap,dilated frontal flap,and retrograde upper arm canal.The advantages and disadvantages of different flaps and the repair effects were compared.Results All flaps survived after surgery.The shape and ventilation function of nose were good,and the color,appearance,texture of the reconstructed nose were close to the surrounding normal tissues.There were no serious complications occurred.Conclusion In order to achieve good results,different surgical methods should be selected based on the compre-hensive consideration of the defect site,scope and surrounding tissues.
