Clinical application of expansion mold in the treatment and prevention of anterior nostril stenosis

Abstract

Background: Stenosis of the anterior nostril will not only affect the beauty but also affect the respiratory function of the nose. Objectives: We explore the clinical application value of expansion mold in treating and preventing anterior nostril stenosis. Material and methods: We analyzed 12 cases of anterior nostril stenosis and 3 cases of anterior nostril trauma in the past five years—every patient using the expansion model for six months. Results: After six months of dilation treatment, 14 cases were cured, and one improved. The total effective rate was 100%, and all the patients were followed up for one year. There were no complications and recrudesced. Conclusions: and Significance: Using expansion mold to treat and prevent anterior nostril stenosis is a simple, safe, and effective method worth widely popularizing.
