Abstract
The nasal ala, represents by nature, an anatomical part of the body unique for its characteristics. Unfortunately the nasal ala is often interested by traumas and by cancers whose treatment can determine an all - thickness amputation. In such cases the reconstruction is extremely engaging from a technical point of view, since it is necessary to recreate a satisfying aesthetical structure and to make a free air flow. We present the clinical case of a nasal ala major substance loss, due to a cancer, that has been treated by employing the new Mutaf Triangular Flap.
