[Submucous implantation with pedicel auto-flap of cheek muscle for atrophic rhinitis].
This paper described a method of submucous implantation for 32 patients with atrophic rhinitis by using pedicel auto-flap of cheek muscle and maxillary periosteum of piriform aperture. The results indicated that the total effective rate was 100% and the evident effective rate was 90.6% after 1 to 3 year postoperatively. The cilia beat of nasal mucosa, blood flow, osmotaxis of blood vessel. P substance and the resistance of nasal airflow were all improved. The flap survived and grew well due to autogenuous graft tissues and its original blood supply. No complications have been found. The clinical efficiency was obvious for a short term and was stable for a long term.
