ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical effects of sailboat resection of nasal alar flap combined with catgut embedding in the treatment of severe hypertrophy of the nasal alar.Methods Patients with severe alar hypertrophy were photographed before operation,and the length of alar,the height of nasal ala,the length of nostrils and the width of nostrils were measured.After one month and half a year follow-up,the length of alar,nasal alar height,nostril length,nostril width and nasal width were measured,and the local scar condition was scored according to Vancouver scar scale (VSS).Results Through the combination of two kinds of surgical treatment of severe nasoalar hypertrophy,the surgical effect of satisfaction showed that,with the comparison before and after surgery,nose length and height,length and width of the nostril and the nasal base width were significantly reduced (P＜0.05) after half a year and one month after operation.The data showed no significant changes (P＞0.05),and so the postoperative effect could be sustained;local scar scale,after half a year and one month after operation,were significantly decreased (P＜0.05),and the postoperative long-term scar was not obvious.Conclusions The effect of alar sailboat-resection combined with catgut embedding therapy is satisfactory for the treatment of severe alar hypertrophy.It is one of the ways to treat severe alar hypertrophy.
