Abstract
Background: The scroll ligament provides support to the internal and external valve, and its repair in rhinoplasty provides good functional and aesthetic results. In this study, it was aimed to repair the scroll ligament complex by leaving cartilage in the nasal skin envelope, and clinical results were shared.
Patients and methods: 216 patients who underwent closed preservation rhinoplasty with modified low septal strip septoplasty were included in the study. A 10 x 1 mm of cartilage is left in the nasal skin envelope at the midpoint of the cranial part of the lateral crus of the LLC, leaving it as a guide to repair the scroll ligament complex in the anatomically correct place. Demographic data, complications, revision surgeries, follow-up periods and satisfaction of the patients were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: Residual humps were observed in 2 patients. Inferior turbinate hypertrophy was observed in 4 patients. In 1 patient, total septal reconstruction was performed. Two hundred and three patients were evaluated the results as poor, moderate, good and very good. One hundred and sixteen patients rated the functional outcome as very good, 80 patients as good, 4 patients as moderate and 3 patients as poor. One hundred and twenty-eight patients rated the aesthetic result as very good, 72 as good and 3 as moderate.
Conclusion: Repairing the scroll ligament complex provides both internal and external valve support, better redraping and eliminating the dead space. Leaving cartilage on the nasal skin envelope as a guide helps to repair the scroll ligament complex in the anatomically correct place at the end of the surgery.
Level of evidence iv: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article. For a full description of these Evidence-Based Medicine ratings, please refer to the Table of Contents or the online Instructions to Authors www.springer.com/00266 .
期刊介绍：
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is a publication of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and the official journal of the European Association of Societies of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (EASAPS), Società Italiana di Chirurgia Plastica Ricostruttiva ed Estetica (SICPRE), Vereinigung der Deutschen Aesthetisch Plastischen Chirurgen (VDAPC), the Romanian Aesthetic Surgery Society (RASS), Asociación Española de Cirugía Estética Plástica (AECEP), La Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reparadora (SACPER), the Rhinoplasty Society of Europe (RSE), the Iranian Society of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeons (ISPAS), the Singapore Association of Plastic Surgeons (SAPS), the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS), the Egyptian Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons (ESPRS), and the Sociedad Chilena de Cirugía Plástica, Reconstructiva y Estética (SCCP).
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery provides a forum for original articles advancing the art of aesthetic plastic surgery. Many describe surgical craftsmanship; others deal with complications in surgical procedures and methods by which to treat or avoid them. Coverage includes "second thoughts" on established techniques, which might be abandoned, modified, or improved. Also included are case histories; improvements in surgical instruments, pharmaceuticals, and operating room equipment; and discussions of problems such as the role of psychosocial factors in the doctor-patient and the patient-public interrelationships.
Aesthetic Plastic Surgery is covered in Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, SciSearch, Research Alert, Index Medicus-Medline, and Excerpta Medica/Embase.
