First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study compares two ways to rebuild the nose after partial or total loss: surgery using skin flaps, or a custom-made prosthetic nose (epithesis). Researchers will ask people who had either treatment at least one year ago to fill out a questionnaire about how their nose looks and works. The goal is to provide clear, patient-reported evidence to help guide future treatment decisions.
