- Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical application effect of a novel prefabricated costal cartilage framework with perichondrium scaffold in the comprehensive rhinoplasty.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 40 patients who underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty by using a prefabricated costal cartilage framework with perichondrium scaffold from December 2017 to December 2022 in our hospital.The postoperative tension of nasal tip,blood supply of nasal columella skin flap,and occurrence of perioperative complications were observed.The changes of nasal dorsum length,nasal tip height,and nasolabial angle before and after surgery were measured based on facial photographs taken to evaluate patients' satisfaction.Results The surgeries on 40 patients were successfully performed,with a less intraoperative bleeding and few perioperative complications.All postoperative wounds healed in the first phase.After 12 to 36 months of follow-up,no implant displacement,implant extrusion,or cartilage framework displacement,deformation or bending was found.One patient developed bacterial infection,who healed after symptomatic management.There were significant increases in the nasal dorsum length,nasal tip height,and nasolabial angle after operation compared with those before operation,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).The patients'satisfaction in terms of morphological outcomes after surgery was 97.5%.Conclusion The application of prefabricated costal cartilage framework with perichondrium scaffold in comprehensive rhinoplasty is safe and reliable,with good outcome and fewer complications,as well as high patients' satisfaction.
