Official title

A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Functional and Aesthetic Outcomes of Lobed Transposition Flaps vs. Nasalis Sling Flaps in Nasal Tip Reconstruction

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a significant difference in aesthetic and functional outcomes between nasalis sling flaps and lobed flaps of nasal tip wounds requiring reconstruction. This is a randomized clinical trial. Approximately 32 participants who are undergoing nasal tip wound reconstruction surgery will be invited to participate and randomized to receive either the nasalis sling repair or the lobed flap repair. Patients will be asked to complete a few questionnaires including a VAS scale, the Surgical Outcomes scale, the NOSE instrument, and the Nasal Appearance and Function Evaluation Questionnaire (NAFEQ). This study was a pilot study designed to determine the feasibility of these procedures.
