Objective:
Exploring a method of rhinoplasty and septoplasty to get better nasal function and aesthetic effect.
Method:
1) Using endoscopic rhinoplasty and septoplasty, separating the joint of quadrangular cartilage and the bones around it, resecting vertical and horizontal strip of the deviated septal cartilage and fracturing the deviated septal bones and reconstructing them with three layers (mucosa-cartilage or bone-mucosa), positing the reconstructed septum in the middle between two lateral walls of nasal cavity, proper space between septum and turbinates was maintained. 2) The caudal part of quadrangular cartilage was resected and placed in the columella pocket between the two medial parts of the alar cartilage and the supporting function of the septal cartilage was maintained.
Result:
Compared with traditional nasal septal reconstruction surgery, our method got better functional and aesthetic outcome.
Conclusion:
The anatomic three layers were preserved in our method, thus it is better than the traditional methods. The caudal septal cartilage should be used as the perfect material in rhinoplasty.
