Intervention Type Procedure Intervention Type Procedure
Name Nasalis Sling Flap Name Lobed Transposition Flap
Description The nasalis sling flap involves alteration of the nasalis muscle to create a myocutaneous pedicle flap that will be used to fill in the wound. Description Lobed flap reconstruction involves the use of cutaneous tissue located adjacent to the nasal tip to fill in the wound. The flap will undergo a 90-degree arc to approximate the desired position.

Description This visual analog scale (VAS) measures outcomes of functionality and appearance with values ranging on a continuum from 0 to 10, and higher scores representing a better outcome. Description The Surgical Outcome Scale is a likert agreement scale on surgical outcomes with values ranging from 1 (agree) to 5 (disagree), and lower scores representing a better outcome. Description The Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) Instrument is a questionnaire of nose functionality. This is a checklist of of problems related to the nose/nasal area with possible answers ranging from "not a problem" to a "severe problem". Description Nasal Appearance and Function Evaluation Questionnaire (NAFEQ) Scale is a likert scale on nasal appearance and function evaluations with values ranging from 1 (always; very poor; very dissatisfied) to 5 (never; excellent; very satisfied), and higher scores representing a better outcome.
