In these circumstances, we recommend replacing the nasal and other defects with a slightly more generous amount of tissue than would be taken to repair a similar, but solitary, defect. It is important to replace any loss of the facial skeleton, in order to provide support for overlying flaps.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0022215109005234","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,22]],"date-time":"2009-05-22T10:41:09Z","timestamp":1242988869000},"page":"1-38","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Management
