Nasal axis lateralization suture technique in crooked nose
1Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery Department, Sehit Prof. Dr. İlhan Varank Training and Research Hospital, Emek Mahallesi, Namık Kemal Cad. No:54, Sancaktepe, 34785, Istanbul, Turkey.
Summary
The nasal axis lateralization suture (NALS) technique effectively corrects crooked noses, improving both aesthetic and functional outcomes. Patient satisfaction was significantly higher in C-shaped deviations post-surgery.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Rhinology
- Facial Aesthetics
Background:
- Crooked nose deformities present significant aesthetic and functional challenges.
- Objective and subjective assessment is crucial for evaluating rhinoplasty outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare the aesthetic and functional outcomes of the nasal axis lateralization suture (NALS) technique for crooked nose correction.
- To evaluate both objective and subjective results of NALS for C-shaped and I-shaped nasal deviations.
Main Methods:
- 36 patients with crooked noses underwent NALS.
- Preoperative and postoperative photographs were analyzed.
- The Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) questionnaire assessed patient satisfaction.
Main Results:
- NALS significantly improved nasal axis angles in both C-shaped and I-shaped deviations.
- ROE scores showed significant improvements in aesthetic and functional outcomes for both groups.
- Higher patient satisfaction was noted in the C-shaped deviation group post-NALS.
Conclusions:
- The nasal axis lateralization suture (NALS) is a viable alternative for correcting both C-shaped and I-shaped nasal axis deviations.
- NALS offers significant aesthetic and functional improvements in crooked nose correction.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
2.2K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
6.6K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

01:30Epistaxis
147
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...
