Nostril stenosis is typically caused by retraction and contraction after trauma or infection, although loss of nasal tissue is not common during rhinoplasty. This clinical report describes the fabrication of a nasal stent to replace the lost columella and a columella prosthesis for a patient who had had reconstructive surgery for nasal valve collapse and a missing columella. The stent established a comfortable means of nasal air exchange that was also esthetically acceptable. The stent also provided the necessary support for the nasal tissue before further nasal reconstructive surgeries.
鼻孔狭窄通常是由于创伤或感染后的回缩和收缩引起的，尽管在鼻整形术中并不常见失去鼻组织。本临床报告描述了为一名曾因鼻阀塌陷和鼻中隔缺失而接受过重建手术的患者制造鼻支架以替代缺失的鼻中隔和鼻中隔假体的过程。该支架建立了一种舒适的鼻腔空气交换方式，同时也具有美学效果。在进一步的鼻重建手术之前，支架还为鼻组织提供了必要的支撑。
