The aim of this study is to demonstrate a novel surgical technique in the treatment of lower lateral crural protrusion and external nasal valve pinching.
The lower lateral crural resection technique was used in 24 patients who underwent open technique septorhinoplasty between 2019 and 2022. Fourteen of the patients were female and 10 were male. In this technique, excess part of crura's tail was excised from the lower lateral crura and placed in the same pocket. This area was supported with a diced cartilage and a postoperative nasal retainer was applied. We have corrected the aesthetic problem that occurs when the lower lateral cartilage is convex, and external nasal valve pinching that occurs when the lower lateral crural protrusion is concave.
The mean age of the patients was 23. The mean follow-up time of the patients was between 6 and 18 months. No complications were observed due to this technique. Satisfactory results were obtained in the postoperative period after surgery.
A new surgical approach has been proposed for patients with lower lateral crural protrusion and external nasal valve pinching using the lateral crural resection technique.
本研究旨在展示一种治疗下外侧鼻翼突出和外鼻阀夹捏的新手术技术。
2019 年至 2022 年间，我们对 24 例行开放式鼻中隔成形术的患者采用下外侧鼻甲切除术技术。其中 14 例为女性，10 例为男性。在该技术中，从下外侧鼻甲切除多余的尾部，并将其放置在同一个口袋中。该区域用软骨碎块支撑，并使用术后鼻夹板。我们纠正了下外侧软骨外凸和下外侧鼻甲突出导致的外鼻阀夹捏的美学问题。
患者的平均年龄为 23 岁。患者的平均随访时间为 6 至 18 个月。由于该技术未观察到任何并发症。手术后的术后期间取得了满意的效果。
我们提出了一种新的手术方法，用于治疗下外侧鼻翼突出和外鼻阀夹捏，采用下外侧鼻甲切除术技术。
