Abstract
|
|
|
Nose is important hard-tissue structure forming facial contour. Especially nasal septum which serves as main sustenance of nose causes deformity with minor trauma easily.
Without precise reconstruction immediately right after injury, it may result in not only respiratory difficulties and changes in nasal-sound forming but also cosmetic problem.
Therefore it requires precise diagnosis and immediate correction of damaged structure through that diagnosis.
So far we have had many problems such as recurrence of deviated nose and depression of nasal dorsal surface by performing nasal septum surgery without examining exact deformity state and site.
Examining the deviated nose in this hospital, we used the bronchoendoscope that has strong point in comparatively easy-examining and exact diagnosing and cqnfirming deformed site before operation by direct eye-contact and in leaving records as photocopies.
We performed taking photographs of 15 patients´ traumatic septal deformities and grasped exact deformed state of septum and intra-septal deformity and selected appropriate surgical method. Thus we could get satisfying results by performing septal deformity corrections in applying these methods.
