The challenges of successful nasal reconstruction, which are related to the anatomical complexity of the region, have been extensively studied. Revisional operations are often required to achieve proper nasal reconstruction, with results resembling the premorbid nasal status. This is necessary to ensure the quality of life of skin cancer patients. Fundamental nasal reconstruction requires both proper soft tissue coverage and proper function. However, earlier studies in the field primarily focused on the functional aspect of nose reconstruction, although the cosmetic aspect is also an important factor to consider. In response to this need, many recent studies on nose reconstruction have proposed various refinement strategies to improve aesthetic satisfaction. Most plastic surgeons accept the nasal aesthetic subunit principle as a standard for nasal reconstruction. This review outlines the commonly used surgical refinement options and management strategies for postoperative complications based on the subunit principle. In patients with nasal defects, a proper technical strategy might help minimize revision operations and optimize the long-term results.

Nasoalveolar molding (NAM) device is an effective treatment for protruding maxilla in infants with cleft palate. However, only a few studies have investigated the effect of NAM devices on the treatment of protruding maxilla in infants with cleft lip only. We have designed a combination treatment using NAM devices prior to cheiloplasy for cleft lip-only patients with severe anterior protrusion of the premaxilla. Three cleft lip-only infants with 1-cm or more of premaxilla protrusion were included. Definitive cheiloplasty was performed at 6 months of age without any preoperative correction in infant 1. Cheiloplasty was performed in conjunction with the use of NAM device and lip adhesion in infants 2 and 3. Postoperative columella length and anterior-posterior dimension of the protruding premaxilla were compared amongst the infants. We were able to obtain satisfactory postoperative columella length and general nasal appearance.

Objective: To investigate the distribution, side involvement, phenotype, and associated anomalies of Korean patients with craniofacial clefts (CFC). Methods: The samples consisted of 38 CFC patients, who were treated at Seoul National University Dental Hospital during 1998-2018. The Tessier cleft type, sex, side involvement, phenotype, and associated anomalies were investigated using non-parametric statistical analysis. Results: The three most common types were #7 cleft, followed by #0 cleft and #14 cleft. There was no difference between the frequency of male and female. Patients with #0 cleft exhibited nasal deformity, bony defect, and missing teeth in the premaxilla, midline cleft lip, and eye problems. A patient with #3 cleft (unilateral type) exhibited bilateral cleft lip and alveolus. All patients with #4 cleft were the bilateral type, including a combination of #3 and #4 clefts, and had multiple missing teeth. A patient with #5 cleft (unilateral type) had a posterior openbite. In patients with #7 cleft, the unilateral type was more prevalent than the bilateral type (87.0% vs. 13.0%, p < 0.001). Sixteen patients showed hemifacial microsomia (HFM), Goldenhar syndrome, and unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). There was a significant match in the side involvement of #7 cleft and HFM (87.5%, p < 0.01). Patients with #14 cleft had plagiocephaly, UCLP, or hyperterorbitism. A patient with #30 cleft exhibited tongue tie and missing tooth. Conclusions: Due to the diverse associated craniofacial anomalies in patients with CFC, a multidisciplinary approach involving a well-experienced cooperative team is mandatory for these patients.

Purpose: Although nasal fractures are often discussed as minor injuries but the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity remains high. For decrease the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity which require the guideline to optimize the management of acute nasal bone fracture. The aim of this study is analysis of post-traumatic nasal deformity according to Stranc classification. Method: We reviewed 310 patients with nasal bone fracture treated at our hospital from January of 2005 to December of 2006. Result: Post-traumatic complication were divided septal deviation, nasal bone deformity, temporary hyposmia and synechia. Nasal bone deformity include nasal bone deviation, hump, flat nose and minimal nasal bone irregularity. The incidence of total complication rate was 36.4%. The most common complication was nasal deformity(22.9%) followed by septal deviation(19.7%). The most common complication was septal deviation(20%) in frontal impact. The most common complication was nasal deformity(19.5%) in lateral impact. In frontal impact, the incidence of complication rate was plane II(68.8%) followed by plane I(29.9%) and plane III(16.7%). In lateral impact, the incidence of complication rate was plane II (78.8%) followed by plane III(61.5%) and plane I(42.7%). Conclusion: This result can be used to improve longterm results and to reduce the incidence of post-traumatic nasal deformity by predict complication of nasal bone fracture according to Stranc classification.

Purpose: The majority of nasal bone fractures have been managed by routine procedure of closed reduction, intranasal packing or intranasal Kirschner wire (K-wire) splinting. But it leaves rooms for many complaints from patients such as pain, rhinorrhea and nasal obstructioon. Another option is, of course, no packing at all. The study was initiated to assess the necessity to pack or splint the nasal bone after routine closed reduction. Methods: We analysed the medical records of 35 patients with nasal bone fracture who were operated by closed reduction in the last 2 years. We evaluated the postoperative CT scan scores and external deviation criterias 1 month after the operation. Results: The postoperative deviation criteria and postoperative CT scan score were favorable and there were no serious complications using this technique. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that the use of packing or splinting need not be routine in the majority of cases. The risks and discomforts associated with these procedures can often be avoided.

Background: Packing after closed reduction of nasal fracture causes uncomfortable nasal obstruction in patients. We packed the superior meatus with synthetic polyurethane foam (SPF) to support the nasal bone, and packed the middle nasal meatus with a nasal airway splint (NAS) and SPF. The aim of this article is prospectively to compare the subjective patient discomfort of SPF (Nasopore Forte plus) packing alone and SPF with NAS. Methods: We compared the prospectively subjective patient discomfort of SPF packing alone (group A) and SPF with NAS (group B) via visual analog scale (VAS; 0, no symptom; 100, most severe symptom). Results: At first postoperative day group B showed significant lower scores in dry mouth, sleep disturbance, conversation difficulty. However at third postoperative day, VAS scores of each group had no statistically significant differences. Moreover at fifth postoperative day group A had statistically significant lower scores for nasal pain, dry mouth than the group B. Conclusion: Combination method of using NAS and SPF have some advantage on the patient comfort from first postoperative day to third postoperative day.

Deviated nose deformities have always been a surgical challenge, and it is essential to achieve both functional and esthetic improvements. Various techniques have evolved over time to correct deviated noses but no one method applies in all cases. Successful correction requires a complete understanding of the various surgical techniques and concepts, including the three-dimensional nasal structure and the time-related changes to surgically-treated noses.

편측성 순구개열자의 교합과 안모의 비대칭이 연령 증가에 따라 변화하는 양상을 파악하여 비성형술의 시행시기 결정, 교정치료 도중의 안모 변화 예측 등에 이용하고자 구순과 구개의 수술을 시행받은 편측성 순구개열자 39명을 8세 이하, 9세에서 12세, 13세 이상의 3군으로 나누어 정모두부방사선 규격사진을 채득하여 투사도를 작성하였다. 좌, 우측 전두협골봉합의 내면을 잇는 선을 수평 기준선(HR)으로 하고, HR을 수직 이등분하는 선을 정중시상 기준선(MSR)으로 정하여 상악골, 상하악 치열, 하악골의 좌우 비대칭을 판단하기 위한 17 항목을 선정, 계측하였다. 안모 비대칭의 정도를 파악하기 위하여 student t-test를, 성장에 따른 비대칭의 변화를 알아 보기 위하여 one-way ANOVA를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 편측성 순구개열자에서 비대칭은 다양하게(1.22-3.47$mm/^{\circ}$) 나타났다. 특히 정중선에 대한 상악 제1대구치와 중절치까지의 거리, 하악지의 길이에서 비대칭이 크게 나타났다. 2. 편측성 순구개열자에서 비대칭은 몇 항목에서 뚜렷한 특징을 보였다. 비중격은 모두 파열측으로 변위되었고 비강의 하연은 대부분이 파열측에서 더 하방에 위치하였다. ANS는 주로 비파열측으로, 상악 중절치는 주로 파열측으로 변위되었다. 3. 성장에 따른 비대칭의 변화양상이 가장 뚜렷한 항목은 비중격으로 9세에서 14세까지도 비대칭의 양이 증가하였다.
