The paramedian forehead flap is a highly versatile surgical technique utilized in nasal reconstruction, particularly for addressing extensive or intricate defects spanning multiple nasal subunits. This approach leverages the robust axial blood supply provided by the supratrochlear artery, facilitating dependable tissue transfer and optimal wound healing. The procedure demands meticulous planning and execution, emphasizing precise flap design, elevation, and inset to ensure vascular integrity and achieve desirable aesthetic outcomes. Despite potential complications such as flap necrosis or venous insufficiency, successful reconstruction with minimal morbidity and satisfactory cosmetic results is attainable through proper patient selection and perioperative management.Through active participation in this course focused on paramedian forehead flap reconstruction, clinicians are equipped with comprehensive knowledge and skills essential for proficiently performing this intricate procedure. Learners delve into the intricacies of vascular anatomy, flap design principles, surgical techniques, and strategies for managing potential complications. Furthermore, collaboration with an interprofessional team comprising surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals enhances patient outcomes by facilitating seamless coordination throughout the surgical journey. Effective communication and collaboration among team members enable thorough patient assessments, personalized treatment planning, and vigilant monitoring postoperatively.
