Abstract

Background: Alar rim collapse is an agonizing problem that has both cosmetic and functional sequalae. It has been usually addressed with batten grafts. In this study, we are describing a simple technique for insertion of alar rim grafts to fix external nasal valve collapse. Patients and Methods: Between January 2018 and October 2020, eighteen patients with alar rim collapse or deformities were addressed using alar rim septal cartilage grafting. Results: All patients who underwent alar rim grafting for external nasal valve collapse were evaluated functionally and aesthetically with post-operative follow up ranging from 12 to 24 month. During which, they showed marked improvement in their nasal airway patency with complete satisfaction for the aesthetic outcome. No complications were encountered. Conclusion: Alar rim grafting is a simple and effective approach to provide support for the external nasal valve and alar contour. In cases of malpositioned lower lateral cartilage, alar flaring, nasal tip deformities, mild retraction, or contour asymmetries, these cartilage grafts showed good outcomes in primary or revision cases.

鼻翼缘移植对鼻外瓣塌陷及鼻翼轮廓的影响

背景:鼻翼边缘塌陷是一个令人痛苦的问题，具有美观和功能后遗症。通常用木条嫁接来解决。在这项研究中，我们描述了一个简单的技术插入鼻翼缘移植物固定外鼻瓣塌陷。患者和方法:2018年1月至2020年10月，对18例鼻翼缘塌陷或畸形患者采用鼻翼缘间隔软骨移植术进行治疗。结果:所有鼻外瓣塌陷患者行鼻翼缘移植术，术后随访12 ~ 24个月，功能和美观均得到评价。在此期间，他们的鼻气道通畅有了明显的改善，对美学结果完全满意。无并发症发生。结论:鼻翼缘移植是一种简单有效的方法，可为鼻外瓣和鼻翼轮廓提供支撑。对于下外侧软骨错位、鼻翼突出、鼻尖畸形、轻度回缩或轮廓不对称的病例，这些软骨移植物在初次或翻修病例中显示出良好的结果。
