ABSTRACT
Objective:
To
measure and analyze the morphological
parameters of nasal septal
cartilage obtained by
rhinoplasty in
Chinese, so as to provide theoretical guidance for clinical acquisition and application of nasal septal
cartilage.
Methods:
From March 2014 to June 2021, 732
patients were received
rhinoplasty in Myoung Beaucare Clinic of
Beijing-
Cosmetic Surgery. During the operation, 12 mm L-shaped nasal septal
cartilage scaffold was obtained from nasal septal
cartilage for
transplantation. Measurement of the length, width, area, maximum thickness and minimum thickness of nasal septal
cartilage was performed for further
analysis.
Results:
For nasal septal
cartilage obtained from comprehensive
rhinoplasty, its length was 1.2 to 3.5 cm, with an average of 2.16 cm; the width was 1 to 3 cm, with an average of 1.84 cm; the area was 1.43 to 10.5 cm 2, with an average of 4.04 cm 2, with a maximum thickness of 0.5 to 3 mm, with an average of 1.92 mm and a minimum thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm, with an average of 0.92 mm.
Conclusions:
In the comprehensive
rhinoplasty of nasal septal
cartilage for
Chinese, the 12 mm L-shaped nasal septal
cartilage scaffold is retained, and the average length, width and area of nasal septal
cartilage for
transplantation are 2.16 cm, 1.84 cm, 4.04 cm 2, 1.92 mm and 0.92 mm respectively.
