=Petrali Method.=—The shape of the flap is cut in ovate form with its
rounded base near the hair line of the forehead. Petrali likens it to the
form of the mulberry leaf. The left lateral incision dips down into the
median line of the old deformity at its upper border.
The flap, after having been cut free, is folded upon itself along the
median line, bringing the raw surfaces together along the dorsum of the
new nose, thus giving body to the whole anterior nasal line. Presumably
he introduces several sutures through the side of the flap to facilitate
union along this line.
The method is illustrated in Figs. 331 and 332.

PETRALI METHOD.]
=Forque Method.=—Herein the right lateral incision of the frontal flap is
begun at a point above and corresponding to the middle of the eyebrow.
The base is fashioned as shown in Fig. 333, and the left lateral incision
is carried down to the median line of the old nasal defect, coming within
the inner border of the eyebrow.

=D’Alguie Method.=—This author conceived the idea of further relieving
the torsion of the pedicle by making the frontal flap transverse along
the forehead, instead of perpendicular.
The incision at the root of the nose is on a level and in line with the
inner ends of the eyebrows. The left lateral incision is made to lie just
above the eyebrow and the right sweeps upward and outward, as shown in
Fig. 334.
The base is made with a rectangular projection to form the columna.

=Landreau Method.=—The direction of the frontal flap is transverse, but
the root of pedicle, instead of having a downward direction, is so cut as
to have its attachment upward, as shown in Fig. 335. This position of the
pedicle thus overcomes to a great extent the torsion at this point. The
flap must be cut somewhat longer in its transverse axis to allow for the
higher position of the pedicle on the forehead.
The distal end of the flap is trident-shaped, as shown.

=Langenbeck Method.=—The flap is cut on an oblique line along its left
border, running the incision down and across the root of the nose to the
right while the right incision begins just under the eyebrow and extends
less obliquely upward, as shown in Fig. 336. The base of the pedicle is
fashioned as shown. The bordering remains of the old nose are removed.

In another operation by the same operator the right incision was begun at
a point above the eyebrow and carried transversely along to the rising
point of the lateral. The left lateral incision was so made that it left
an area of skin over the root of the nose, as shown in Fig. 337, which he
dissected away, giving that part of the flap to cover it an opportunity
to adhere, at the same time furnishing a nourishing area for its future
life.
