Application of autogenous septal cartilage in correction of cleft lip nasal deformity / 中华医学美学美容杂志

Objective To explore the application and efficacy of autogenous septal cartilage in the correction of cleft lip nasal deformity.Methods A total of 31 patients with secondary nasal deformity of cleft lip were involved in this study.After autologous nasal cartilage was released,the dislocation of nasal cartilage was corrected,nasal septum cartilage was used as substitute to raise the alar collapse,to reshape the nasal tip cartilage structure and correct the nasal deformity.Results Postoperative incision was primarily healing.For cartilage donor area there was no serious complications,and incision scar was concealed and unobvious; after 6 months to 2 years follow-up,there was no cartilage absorption deformation,the tip of the nose was flat,crack side nosewing collapses,and nasal columella skew was totally corrected,with stable rhinoplasty effects.Conclusions For secondary nasal deformity of cleft lip,the use of nasal septum cartilage to repair nose deformity can not only solve the cartilage source,but also give septal straightening and at the same time the correction effect of external nasal deformity is good.

Presentación de un caso de corrección cosmética de pectus excavatum / Cosmetic correction of pectus excavatum: A case presentation

El pectus excavatum representa del 90 al 92% de las deformidades congénitas de la pared anterior del tórax; el resto comprende pectus carinatum, tórax hendido, síndrome de Cantrelly síndrome de Poland. En México, se presenta en 1 de cada 1,000 nacidos vivos. La deformidad es poco evidente al nacimiento; sin embargo, en la infancia se hace más evidente y puede llegar a constituir un problema relevante funcional, psicosocial y/o estético para el adolescente. La patogenia se atribuye al crecimiento anormal de los cartílagos costales. Siguiendo el principio fundamental de que toda deformación congénita que produce síntomas reclama la atención del cirujano, se recomienda la cirugía correctiva en la edad temprana de la vida, porque la manipulación operatoria se lleva a cabo en un palmo de extensión. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 18 años de edad, de 1.90 metros de estatura, jugador de baloncesto, a quien se le colocó una prótesis modelada de silicon por debajo del plano fasciomuscular, para corregir el defecto físico.

Pectus excavatum is the commonest congenital defect of the anterior chest wall, accounting for 90-92% of all cases, the rest is distributed between pectus carinatum, cleft sternum, Cantrell's syndrome and Poland's syndrome. In Mexico, pectus excavatum occurs in 1 of 1,000 live births. This deformity is barely noticed at birth but becomes more evident during childhood and may constitute a functional, psychosocial and/or aesthetic problem for the adolescent. The pathophysiology involved is an abnormal growth of costal cartilages. Following the fundamental principle that any symptomatic congenital deformity claims the surgeon's attention, corrective surgery is recommended early in life, when the surgical manipulation is made in a small field. We present the case of an 18 year old, 1.9 m tall, basketball player, who had a modelled silicon implant inserted beneath the fasciomuscular layer, as a cosmetic repair of his deformity.
