| Popis: | Laser reshaping of nasal septal cartilage is a straightforward, painless, atraumatic, and bloodless approach. It is an office-based or outpatient procedure, not limited by age or most medical comorbid conditions. The laser medical system for laser septochondrocorrection includes an Erbium-doped glass fiber laser, a feedback control system, and particularized surgical instrument. Optimal laser treatment conditions allow achieving the mechanically stable modified nasal septum configurations without damage to the cartilage, perichondrium, and mucosa. Most of the patients operated shown a stable septum straightening and considerable improvement of nose breathing. Clinical results with 5 years of follow up have demonstrated high effectiveness, reliability, and safety of the laser technique. |
