The use in plastic of chronic and acute perforations of the nasal septum of transplant materials processed by the Alloplant technology

Abstract

In recent decades, among diseases of the nose and paranasal sinuses, an increase in the number of people with perforations of the nasal septum has been noticeable. To date, the most effective method of treating perforations is operational. Currently, surgeons’ work on closing defects of the nasal septum does not always end with a positive result due to the fact that the transplant materials used in plastic surgery of perforations are often rejected some time after surgery and the perforations reappear. In our study, we treated 80 patients with septum defects in the age range from 18 to 63, for whom septum perforation was closed using transplant materials: fascia treated with Alloplant technology and allogeneic cartilage treated with Alloplant technology and without application. The septum defect closure performance was determined after 1 month and 1 year after surgery. The study revealed that plastic surgery of nasal septum perforations using transplant materials processed using Alloplant technology using the anatomical, clinical, and functional results of treatment one month and one year after surgery has a more effective method than the classical treatment method and leads to fast and full return of all functions of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity.
