Simultaneous septorhinoplasty / 中华医学美学美容杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To introduce a new septorhinoplastic method for twisted nose, humped nose and hawk nose as well as deviation of nasal septum, and to evaluate its operative method and effect. Methods The incision of cleft between lateral nasal cartilage and greater alar cartilage was employed in all patients. The method of unilateral mucoperiosteal flap osteotomy was used to correct nasal pyramid deformity, and swinging-door operation was performed to correct the deviation of nasal septum simultaneously. Results The operative results of 36 cases were effective and satisfactory. Postoperative follow-up ranged from one year to fifteen years. Based on the results of follow-up in the 32 cases, no recurrence and complications were found in all the cases. Conclusion This new method for septorhinoplasty avoids the detachment and move of nasal bone and nasal septum cartilage and injury of nasal mucoperiosteum, and maintains the blood supply of nasal bone and nasal septum cartilage. It corrects extero-nasal deformity as well as deviation of nasal septum. The operation is effective in nose aesthetic and ventilatory function.
