SummaryObjective: This study was aimed to assess the early morphological results of a new septorhinoplasty technique based on disarticulation (SRD) between bony and cartilaginous nose structures. Methodology:A retrospective, multi-judge, blind comparison of pre-and post-operative photographs displayed on Google documents © was designed. A nasal morphology analysis grid based on 10 items was ful lled independently by 6 judges to assess pre-and post-operatively, two times with a 15 day interval, the severity of each deformity by a score between 0 and 2. The sum of all deformities in a single patient produced the individual global score of nasal deformity, which was set between 0 and 20 for each patient. Pre-and post-operative individual global scores were compared using Student's t test on paired samples. Percentages of post-operative improvement and deterioration were calculated for each item.Results: Thirty-ve SRD were analyzed. Before surgery, 80% of noses were humped and 86% were crooked; three months after surgery, 64% of noses had a rectilinear nasal crest on pro le and 57% on facial view. The mean global score of deformities dropped from 11.1 before surgery to 5.8 after surgery, an improvement of 47% . Improvement rates of 82% and 74.3% were obtained, respectively, for hump pro les and orbitonasal lines. Discussion:The early morphological results of SRD allow to propose this technique as a possible solution to correct crooked noses with humps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
