[Rectification of nasal deviation with open operation].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the quantitative classification and measuring method of nasal deviation and effectiveness of Septo-rhinoplasty for nasal deviation.


METHODS
Fourteen selected cases of nasal deviation were rectified by Septo-rhinoplasty. The deviated parameters were measured both before and after operation.


RESULTS
The deviated parameter after operation was (2.75 +/- 1.67) mm in 14 cases. The preoperative parameter was (5.05 +/- 2.03) mm. The difference in changes of deviated parameters before and after operation was significant (P < 0.01). Satisfactory results were achieved after operation in 12 cases. The rate of good cosmetic outcome was 85.71%.


CONCLUSIONS
Both quantitative grading standard of nasal deviation and measurement of deviation value contribute to clinical diagnosis and medical records. The Septo-rhinoplasty is effective for nasal deviation.
