Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Koken nasal splints are utilized for postoperative treatment of cleft-lip nose deformity.
  • Poor retention of conventional splints compromises their effectiveness by reducing the intended molding effect.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified Koken nasal splint designed to improve postoperative retention.
  • To enhance the therapeutic efficacy of nasal splints in cleft-lip nose correction.

Main Methods:

  • A modification to the standard Koken nasal splint was developed.
  • The modified splint aims to address and overcome the issue of poor retention.

Main Results:

  • The modification is anticipated to improve the retention of Koken nasal splints.

  • Enhanced retention is expected to preserve the splint's molding effect for better surgical outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • The presented modification offers a solution to the retention problem of Koken nasal splints.
    • This improvement can lead to more effective postoperative management of cleft-lip nose deformities.
