Bone Substitute in the Multi Traumatized Nasal Septum Reconstruction

Rhinoplasty is performed under general anaesthesia; the duration is 1 to 2 hours. The surgical approach for implantation of the biomaterial is external rhinoplasty. The incision is made at the columella (base of nose) and becomes internal for the scar to be as unobtrusive as possible. The septum skeleton is then destroyed in order to place the synthetic biomaterial. The biomaterial is remodelled in order to have a natural external aspect of the nose. The incision is closed and the wicks are put in place in the nose for 4 days. A cast and a sticker will be put in place after surgery to maintain properly the biomaterial.
