Comparing surgical nose reconstruction versus a prosthetic nose after total or partial nose loss
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares surgical reconstruction with a nasal prosthesis (epithesis) for people who have lost most or all of their nose. The goal is to see which option gives better function and appearance after at least one year of recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have lost most or all of your nose (at least three nasal subunits, or two including the bridge)
- You have already been treated with either surgical reconstruction or a nasal prosthesis for more than one year
- You do not have active or returning cancer in the area
- You can speak French
- You are able to cooperate with the study

This study looks at survival and outcome factors for people who have squamous cell carcinoma in the nasal vestibule. It uses information from surgery and scans and checks tissue samples to see what predicts recovery or risk of problems later.
This study is testing a new French questionnaire to measure how satisfied people are with their nose reconstruction after skin cancer removal. It will help doctors better understand what matters most to patients after this type of surgery.
This study compares a newer, less invasive type of nose surgery (disarticulation septoplasty) to the traditional open approach for fixing a crooked nasal septum that causes breathing problems. It wants to see which method works better.
This study collects tiny leftover pieces of nose or ear cartilage that are normally thrown away during surgery. Researchers will study these samples to help improve future nose reconstruction surgeries. Your regular surgery won't change at all.
This trial collects a small sample of tissue from your nose or sinus during a planned surgery. The sample is used for research to better understand diseases of the nose and sinuses.
This study tracks how patients feel and function after nose surgery that uses a piece of cartilage (septal extension graft) to reshape the nose. Researchers want to understand both the benefits and any complications to improve future care.
