NOSE-ALAR BASE RESECTION – MEDICAL FLAP TECHNIQUE – OUR EXPERIENCE.

Functional results in airflow improvement using a ‘‘flip-flap’’ alar technique: our experience

Functional results in airflow improvement using a "flip-flap" alar technique: our experience.

INTRODUCTION Pinched nasal point can be arising as congenital malformation or as results of unsuccessfully surgery. The nasal valve alteration due to this problem is not only an esthetic problem but also a functional one because can modify the nasal airflow. Several surgical techniques were proposed in literature, we proposed our. OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study is the evaluation of nose a...

Nasal base narrowing: the combined alar base excision technique.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of the combined alar base excision technique in narrowing the nasal base and correcting excessive alar flare. METHODS The study included 60 cases presenting with a wide nasal base and excessive alar flaring. The surgical procedure combined an external alar wedge resection with an internal vestibular floor excision. All cases were followed up for a mean of 32 (ra...

A Subcutaneous Alar Base (SCAB) flap to restore symmetry of the ala in primary cleft-lip nose repair.

Primary surgical correction of cleft-lip nose deformity is now well accepted. Despite various surgical techniques proposed, perfect nasal symmetry has not been persistently attained. The main reason is that the maxillary deficiency is frequently overlooked.This paper presents 62 cases of unilateral cleft lip repaired over the last 20 years by using the author's modification of the Millard prima...

Endoscopic transpterygoid approach and skull base repair after sphenoid meningoencephalocele resection. Our experience.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Cerebrospinal fluid leaks associated to meningoencephaloceles of the sphenoid lateral recess are rare entities. A congenital bony defect at this level results in the persistence of Sternberg's canal, or a lateral craniopharyngeal canal, which is supposed to be the origin of these lesions. Our objective was to show that the endoscopic transpterygoid approach is an eff...
