Summary Repair of the nasal sidewall after skin cancer excision is generally best approached with the use of local flaps for aesthetic reasons. The sidewall may be divided into upper and lower sections and defects described as small, medium or large. In this section I will review the flaps that I feel make best use of adjacent tissue reservoirs allowing aesthetic placement of incisions while protecting free margins and function, and that reward the operator with reliably superior results for the patient.
