Tagliaclozzi Flap as a "Life Boat" Surgery for Paramedian Forehead Flap (PFF) Failure

Tagliaclozzi flap is a random pattern tubed pedicle flap harvested on the antero-medial surface of the arm, technique which developed in the 16^th century. Developed by the Italian pioneer surgeon Gaspare Tagliaclozzi which according to some was based on the trade secrets of “Sushruta Samhita” which traveled to Italy via its Arabic translation in the 8^th century and the “Italian methods of nasal reconstruction” were developed. This technique is revisited in the case described as the life boat for paramedian forehead flap failure.
