title: [Optimization of the plastic closure of perforations in the nasal septum with the use of vector analysis of CT-anatomy of the nasal cavity].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to develop a planar template reflecting the spatial location of mucoperichondrium/mucoperiosteum in the nasal cavity that can be used to shape pedicled flaps for the plastic closure of perforations in the nasal septum. The vector analysis of computed tomograms of the nasal cavity obtained from 73 patients was employed to determine the size of the mucoperichondrium/mucoperiosteum of the septum, floor, and lateral wall of the nasal cavity. The resulting picture (template) has the form of an irregular polygon. Extrapolation of real perforation to such template makes it possible to more rationally plan surgery for the plastic closure of perforations in the nasal septum.
