ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the application of autogenous cartilage transplantation in rhinoplasty.@*METHOD@#We chose three kinds of treatment according to the shape of nasal tip and thickness of local soft tissue. Autogenous auricular cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 57 cases. Nasal alar cartilage transplantation combined with "L" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 33 cases and septal cartilage transplantation combined with "willow leaf" type artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty was executed in 29 cases.@*RESULT@#Improved nasal aesthetic effects were observed after operation in all of 119 cases, 64 cases were follow-up visited for 3 to 12 months. Both surgeons and patients were satisfied with the nasal shape.@*CONCLUSION@#Autogenous cartilage transplantation combining with artificial prosthesis rhinoplasty could effectively rebuild the nasorostral shape. We chose different kinds of cartilage according to the nasorostral condition. We can ensure that the whole nasal shape according to aesthetic requirement.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the quantitative classification and measuring method of nasal deviation and effectiveness of Septo-rhinoplasty for nasal deviation.@*METHOD@#Fourteen selected cases of nasal deviation were rectified by Septo-rhinoplasty. The deviated parameters were measured both before and after operation.@*RESULT@#The deviated parameter after operation was (2.75 +/- 1.67) mm in 14 cases. The preoperative parameter was (5.05 +/- 2.03) mm. The difference in changes of deviated parameters before and after operation was significant (P < 0.01). Satisfactory results were achieved after operation in 12 cases. The rate of good cosmetic outcome was 85.71%.@*CONCLUSION@#Both quantitative grading standard of nasal deviation and measurement of deviation value contribute to clinical diagnosis and medical records. The Septo-rhinoplasty is effective for nasal deviation.

Objective To explore the advantage of the mini-incision doubling eyelid operation comparied with buried suture method.Methods 201 single eyelid cases were randomly divided into 2 groups:group A(101 cases)using mini-incision doubling eyelid operation,and group B(100 cases)using the double eyelid plasty with buried suture.Their effect was comparied.Results 157 cases were received postoperative follow-up.Group A(81 cases)contained 45 thin eyelids and 36 thick eyelids.Group B(76cases)included 32 thin eyelids and 44 thick eyelids.The postoperative follow-up for 1 month revealed that there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of satisfaction between group A and group B among the thin eyelid patients(P＞0.05).But statistic difference was found between A and B group among the thick eyelid patients(P＜0.05).The follow-up period for group A and group B was in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 years.The maintenance-well rate between the thin eyelid and the thick eyelid patients in both groups was significantly different(P＜0.05).Conclusion The mini-incision doubling eyelid operation is superior to the double eyelid plasty with buried suture in the rate of postoperative satisfaction and long-term effect.It is deserved to have more applications.
