Surgical defects often have adverse effects on patient perception of esthetics and self-esteem. Rehabilitation of such surgical defects poses a challenge to the clinician. Presented here is a clinical report of an interim prosthetic rehabilitation of a patient who underwent partial rhinectomy for basal cell carcinoma. Nasal resection included part of the nasal septum, the entire cartilage, and the ala. An interim nasal prosthesis was fabricated for this patient 3 weeks after surgery, to provide early rehabilitation. This prosthesis provided a sociopsychological benefit to the patient, and the prosthesis was well tolerated. The spectacle glasses retained the prosthetic nose.
手术缺损常常会对患者的美观感知和自尊产生不利影响。修复此类手术缺损对临床医生而言是一项挑战。本文呈现了一例接受基底细胞癌部分鼻切除术患者的临时修复体康复的临床报告。鼻切除包括部分鼻中隔、整个软骨和鼻翼。术后3周为该患者制作了一个临时鼻假体，以提供早期康复。该假体为患者带来了社会心理益处，且患者对假体耐受性良好。眼镜固定住了假鼻。
