The conchoplasty method in empty nose syndrome

Abstract

The aim of the study is to reconstruct the resected inferior nasal cavity. A new method was developed and introduced, in which a spreader-implant in the form of a sandwich composite, which is a combination of a perforated plate of "Hi-Fatigue Bone Cement" of the required size, covered on one or both sides with the biocomposite material "LitAr", was used for the first time. As a result of the work, it was found that the "sandwich-implant" promotes cartilage and bone reparation, as well as mucosa of the lower nasal concha, stimulates neoangiogenesis and provides stability of the concha volume in the long term.
