Extracorporeal rhinoseptoplasty

Abstract

The surgical techniques of deviated noses have evolved gradually. Reduction and mobilization techniques causing a weakening of the structural supports have given way to a more conservative surgery involving restructuring and increases. The problem of stability at long term is assured by its threefold support system. Thus, the pattern is biomechanically stable over time. Using the model of the extracorporeal rhinoseptoplasty has the advantage that it can be used in an endonasal approach. The construction of the model is stepwise and therefore repeatable. The best indication of extracorporeal rhinoseptoplasty is the reconstruction of the middle third of the nose, deviated noses even more when the overlaying skin is thin requiring a perfect regular structure
