Nasal septal perforation, a defect of the nasal mucoperichondrium and cartilage, may induce epistaxis, persistent rhinorrhea and nasal obstruction. Cell-based tissue engineering is a promising therapeutic method for the treatment of nasal septal perforation. However, lack of an adequate source of cells and unsuitable biomaterials greatly hinder the development of cell-based therapy. In this paper, we proposed the application of adipose-derived stem cells combined with decellularized cartilage ECM as a potential graft for the damaged nasal septum, which could help to repair the mucosal and cartilage tissues in the treatment of nasal septal perforation. This new technology could play a novel role in the repair of nasal septal perforation, and in regeneration of damaged nasal cartilage.

A crooked nose is a challenge for a surgeon performing rhinoplasty. When performed correctly, rhinoseptoplasty aligns the nasal framework, restores nasal patency, and achieves facial symmetry. The key to this procedure is to dissect all the structures of the nasal framework, mobilize, reposition, and stabilize them.

Background Dacryocystitis (DC) is a disease most often caused by an obstruction of the nasolacrimal duct, leading to over-accumulation of tears in the lacrimal sac, epiphora, and aseptic inflammation. External and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) aims to restore the tear pathway by creating a bypass from the lacrimal sac to the nose. The aim of this study is to investigate superior nasal septal deviation as a possible contributing factor in the incidence and treatment of dacryocystitis.

Currently, the direct endonasal approach is widely used in endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for pituitary neuroendocrine tumor. However, a large posterior septal perforation is inevitable. We routinely utilize a modified para/transseptal approach using the combination of a Killian and a contralateral rescue flap incision (PTSA with K-R incision).

Background: Noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV), when in synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation, continuous positive airway pressure, or patient-triggered ventilation modes, is known to be a cause of facial, nasal, head, and skin pressure injuries in preterm infants.
Objective: The objective of this study is to examine the efficacy of using a checklist with preterm infants under nasal NIMV in preventing facial, nasal, and head pressure injuries.
Method: The study was conducted quasi-experimentally on preterm infants under NIMV.

Background: Unilateral cleft lip secondary nasal deformities are common and require surgical correction frequently. The nasal dome on the cleft side is depressed, and the nasal ala is in an extended and flattened position compared with the noncleft side. In addition, the nasal septum is deviated into the cleft nostril.
