AB - <p>We present a retrospective review (from 1959 to 1975) of 86 patients who were treated surgically for nasal leprosy deformities at the Tata Department of Plastic Surgery. The postnasal skin graft inlay was the most frequent procedure, and it seems best suited for these repairs in developing countries where the patients often present late with major deformities. For minor and early nasal deformities, the insertion of a bone graft or a silicone rubber implant is recommended.</p>
