Balancing form and function: spreader grafts for crooked nose correction with dorsum preservation
Objectives: 1-Understand the challenges and complexities of crooked nose correction.
2-Explore the principles and techniques of using spreader grafts for nasal dorsum preservation.
3-Learn about the aesthetic and functional benefits of this approach.
4-Analyze the outcomes and success rates of crooked nose correction with spreader grafts and dorsal preservation.
Introduction: Crooked noses present both aesthetic and functional challenges to patients. Achieving a harmonious and functional result is the primary goal of rhinoplasty surgeons. This presentation aims to shed light on the technique of using spreader grafts for crooked nose correction while preserving the nasal dorsum. By maintaining the nasal dorsum's structural integrity, we can achieve a balanced and natural appearance, ensuring both form and function are optimized.
Materials / method: INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Patient Selection: Discuss the criteria for selecting suitable candidates for this procedure.
Surgical Technique: Describe in detail the steps involved in using spreader grafts and preserving the nasal dorsum.
Case Studies: Present a series of case studies with pre-operative and post-operative photos.
Complications and Mitigations: Address potential complications and how to manage them
Results: The aesthetic and functional results of the insertion of the submucosal spreader graft beneath the subdorsal spetum were analyzed. Patient satisfaction was measured
using validated outcome instruments and patient-reported outcome measurements (SCHNOS). Statistical analysis was
conducted to compare the outcomes of the techniques.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the utilization of spreader grafts with dorsal preservation in crooked nose correction offers a promising approach that balances both form and function. This technique allows for the achievement of a natural and harmonious nasal appearance while ensuring optimal nasal airflow and function. Through the presentation of case studies and results, we have demonstrated the effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with this method. Rhinoplasty surgeons can consider this approach as a valuable tool in their armamentarium for addressing crooked noses
