Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the nasal functional reconstructive methods for post-traumatic external nasal deformity and nasal septal deviation, and to evaluate the efficacy of surgical treatment.
METHOD:(1) Twelve patients with C-type external nasal deviation were choose undertaking L-shaped incision of the interface of left nasal septal skin and mucosa as well as bilateral inter-cartilaginous incision using endoscopy which named close group; (2) 5 patients with S-type and 10 patients with side-skew-type external nasal deviation patients were choose undertaking trans-columella inversed-V incision as well as bilateral infra-cartilaginous incision viewing directly which named open group. Both of the groups undertook nasal septal reconstruction surgery and rhinoplasty with autologous nasal septal cartilage grafts.
RESULT:During the follow-up period, both groups were satisfied with the functional and aesthetic outcome, while with no recurrence of symptoms and complications. No significant differences were found between the two groups.
CONCLUSION:Autologous nasal septal cartilage and bone are the best filling grafts for cosmetic rhinoplasty. Rhinoplasty with simultaneous nasal septum surgery can reconstruct nasal function and appearance.
