Abstract
Abstract: Background: Management of crooked nose deformity is considered one of the most challenging and difficult procedures in plastic surgery. For proper management of such condition, a thorough pre and intraoperative analysis of all nasal structures should be done. The aim of this study is to report the significant benefits from using the Auto CAD program in measurement of angles of nasal deviation before surgery and its role in assessment of the postoperative surgical results. Patients and methods: The study was done on 28 patients with crooked nose deformity: which were divided into two groups, I-type, which included 15 patients, and C-type, which included 13 patients. Deviation angles were measured by Auto CAD program on frontal views before and at least 3 months after the operation. Surgery was done through an open approach under general anesthesia. Results: Very good results were achieved for both type of crooked noses (p < 0.05). Better results were achieved with the I-type crooked nose deformity than those of the C-type deformity, but still with insignificant difference. Statistics showed that 66.7% and 53.8 % of the patients with crooked noses I type and C type respectively had good or excellent postoperative results. Conclusion: We believe that using of the AutoCAD program is a very helpful and accurate method for preoperative assessment of angles of deviation and postoperative assessment of the degree of correction. We think that it can be helpful also measurement of nasofrontal, nasolabial, and nasofacial angles. In addition, it can help in nasal length and allar base width.
