Abstract:Objective To compare the aesthetic improvement effect of autologous rib cartilage combined with silicone prosthesis and deviated septum combined with simultaneous correction of deviated nose for traumatic deviated nose.Methods A total of 108 patients with traumatic deviated nose who were treated in our hospital from June 2019 to May 2021 were selected and randomly divided into plastic surgery group (using autologous costal cartilage combined with silicone prosthesis plastic surgery) and correction group (using nasal septum). Deviated combined with deviated nose correction surgery, 54 cases in each group. The nasal morphology improvement indicators, nasal ventilation function, satisfaction and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results The deviation angle of the nasal bridge was decreased in both groups after operation (P < 0.05), and the prominence of the nose tip and the nose-frontal angle were increased (P < 0.05). The deviation angle of the nasal bridge in the plastic surgery group was lower than that in the correction group (P < 0.05), while the prominence of the nose tip and the nose-frontal angle were higher than those in the correction group (P < 0.05). After operation, the nasal volume and the minimum cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity increased (P < 0.05), and the nasal expiratory and inspiratory resistance decreased (P < 0.05). The nasal volume in the plastic surgery group was higher than that in the correction group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the minimum cross-sectional area of the nasal cavity and the nasal expiratory and inspiratory resistance between the two groups after surgery (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total postoperative satisfaction rate between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion In patients with traumatic deviated nose, autologous costal cartilage combined with silicone prosthesis plastic surgery is superior to nasal septum deviation combined with deviated nose correction in improving nasal shape and nasal cavity volume. The two surgical methods were similar in terms of satisfaction and safety.
