Congenital and pediatric nasal lesion resection and their reconstructive outcomes are not well studied. A surgeon must consider the site, depth, size, age, etiology and effect on future function (including growth). The path of total reconstruction or of portions of the cartilaginous / cutaneous nasal structure in the pediatric patient must undergo a series of totally different needs with respect to the management of the adult. First of all, it is essential to understand at what age to intervene, given that the child in the growth phase up to adolescence sees the nasal skeleton change significantly and in relation to the possible psychological repercussions that the tissue deficit can cause. This path will often require serious interventions in order to recreate a structure that is aesthetically ideal, functionally effective and finally suitable for the growth phase of the rest of the body and facial structures.
