  ABSTRACT: Full thickness skin grafts and composite grafts are a workhorse in reconstructive surgery of nose and ear defects whether they are originated from trauma, cancer surgery or burns. The reliability of these grafts has been proved with an established clinical use and morbidity to the donor site is minimal if harvesting and donor site selection if appropriate. Use of double or multiple grafts to reconstruct a complex defect of the nose has not been described and our report is meaningful for the fact that it describes a further use of the surgical concept of grafting.
