Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Patients with deviated nose frequently present concomitant nasal bone as well as septal deviation. Many surgical methods have been developed to address such septal deviation, along with various osteotomy techniques to correct bone deviation. The authors performed medial and paramedian osteotomies to treat deviated nose with mild hump, and utilized the acquired wedge shaped bone graft to achieve septal reposition and bony vault correction.
Methods: From October 2014 through June 2015, 10 patients with nasal bone deviation that showed sufficient lateral nasal wall angle but deviated dorsum and septum on their preoperative facial computed tomography were included in this study. The authors performed open rhinoplasty to expose the planned osteotomy site, and conducted medial and paramedian osteotomy that resulted in the separation of a wedge-shaped bone fragment. Bony septum deviation was then treated with the swing door maneuver, and the resected 2 to 3 mm portion of the nasal bone was stabilized by inserting the wedge-shaped bone graft acquired from the previous osteotomy procedures. Consecutive clinical examinations were followed on postoperative 1, 3, and 6 months to observe any recurrences.
Results: All patients were satisfied with their surgical results, and no recurrent deviations were noted.
Conclusions: Precise bone resection and transposition is essential for a successful corrective rhinoplasty. However, medial and lateral osteotomy are not mandatory procedures in all cases, and the nasal wedge bone graft that was utilized to support the treated septal bone may have aided in sustaining the surgical correction.
