Lateral Crural Strut Graft vs Bone-Anchored Suspension for Treatment of Lateral Nasal Wall Insufficiency

NCT03131115 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2018-07-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Lateral nasal wall insufficiency is a source of nasal obstruction which plagues many people as the sidewall of the nose collapses due to negative pressure and structural weaknesses of the nose. Bone anchored suture suspension is used by many surgeons to treat it, and involves anchoring the nasal sidewall to the bony rim below the eye. Lateral crura strut graft is another well described and universally used technique involves strengthening lateral crus of lower lateral cartilage of the nose with piece of cartilage. This study aims to compare the two well known and universally used treatments to each other. Based on expert opinions these procedures are both safe and efficient but given lack of randomized clinical trials comparing these 2 techniques, it is difficult to extrapolate which procedure is superior.
