Diced Cartilage Rhinoplasty for Cleft Nose Deformities: Determining the Flexibility of the Cartilage Framework.

摘要: BACKGROUND The objective of this trial is to evaluate the flexibility cartilaginous component cleft nose after diced cartilage rhinoplasty by determining degree possible bending in relation vertical nasal dorsum axis and compare with a control group unaffected population. PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifteen patients were included study, as well 15 individuals. angle maximum measured between basic performed same rater twice at least 2 weeks apart account for intrarater reliability. Study groups compared Fisher independent t test. RESULTS left side was 16.10 ± 5.03 degrees study 23.95 6.54 (P = 0.001). right 16.54 6.73 23.00 8.88 0.034). CONCLUSION Diced graft injection dorsal augmentation yields reproducible esthetically pleasing outcomes good natural feel tip. Although there significant difference nonaffected capacity, all satisfied results.
