Clinical Comparison of"Double-arch"Elastic Stent and"2+2"Stent for Nasal Tip Plasty
Objective To compare the effectiveness of"double-arch"elastic stent and"2+2"stent in nasal tip rhinoplasty.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients who underwent comprehensive rhinoplasty of costal cartilage treated in the author's hospital from January 2022 to August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the operation methods,they were divided into observation group and control group,with 50 patients in each group.The observation group was treated with"double-arch"nose tip shaping combined with e-PTFE.The control group was treated with"2+2"nose tip shaping combined with e-PTFE.The operation duration,nose tip protrusion,nose tip protrusion rate,nose tip mobility and aesthetic satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results 100 patients were followed up for 9 months.The operation time in observation group was longer than that in control group(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in nasal tip prominence between the observation group and the control group(P>0.05).There was no significant difference in the nasal tip protrusion rate between the observation group and the control group(P>0.05).The satisfaction scores of nasal tip activity in observation group at 9 months were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion"Double-arch"elastic stent rhinoplasty is a surgical method to simulate the anatomical structure of nasal tip.Compared with the mainstream rhinoplasty,it has reliable effect and stability.The operator has more detailed control and more experienced experience in the operation,and the nasal tip mobility of patients is obviously improved.Therefore,the nasal tip rhinoplasty is worthy of popularization.
