An Evaluation of the Caudal End Deviation of the Nasal Septum Using the Quantitative Analysis of Computed Tomography
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Material and Methods
2.1. CT Analysis
2.2. Patients
- A.
- For the cases where the inferior part of the curved caudal end was not dislocated from the anterior nasal spine, cutting and suturing techniques [6] were performed. The caudal strut was cut using scissors at the convex-most region in the caudocephalic direction. The excess portions of the upper and lower caudal strut were then overlapped, and the overlapping cartilages were sutured together. They were reinforced with a batten graft.
- B.
- For the cases where the inferior part of the caudal end was dislocated from anterior the nasal spine, the excess cartilage was resected and the lower edge of the cartilage was fixed to the anterior nasal spine. They were reinforced with a batten graft.
