Abstract
|
|
|
|
Empty nose syndrome is a rare complication caused by excessive removal of normal tissuesafter nose surgery. The main symptoms of empty nose syndrome are paradoxical nasal obstruction,dryness, crust and dyspnea. Medical treatments such as irrigation, humidification,and ointment are not very effective, so surgical treatments to reconstruct the normal nasalcavity using implant materials are often considered. If the implant is not properly inserted, thesymptoms persist and the implant must be removed again, resulting in the only donor sitecomplications. Therefore, it is essential to treat the implant well and insert it precisely. Herewe describe a surgical procedure to manage implant materials using autologous costal cartilagein the form of block, diced, and crushed cartilage for augmentation technique.
