Clinical application of granular costal cartilage combined with flake costal cartilage in the correction of nasal base collapse of cleft lip nose deformity
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of granular costal cartilage combined with flake costal cartilage in the cor-rection of nasal base collapse of cleft lip nose deformity.Methods From July 2021 to June 2023,granular costal cartilage combined with flake costal cartilage was used to correct 12 patients with nasal base collapse of cleft lip nose deformity.Results All 12 patients were fol-lowed up for 1 to 18 months.The nasal alar base collapse,nasal columella base collapse,nasal sill collapse,nasal columella deviation and nostril size asymmetry were significantly improved in all patients.The nasal alar base of 12 patients at 18 months after operation was lower than that at 6 months,which was considered to be caused by partial absorption of filled costal cartilage particles,muscle traction and thin-ning.All patients were satisfied with the efficacy.Conclusion The use of granular combined with flake costal cartilage can effectively correct the collapse of nasal base in the nasal deformities of cleft lip,and the clinical application effect is accurate and effective,which is worth popularizing.
