Nasal Reconstruction Using a Customized 3D-printed Nasal Stent for Congenital Arhinia

Seoul St. Mary's Hospital1 enrolled

Overview

A 7-year-old arhinia patient receives nasal reconstruction with nasal cavity reconstruction and is aided with the application of a 3D-printed nasal stent to prevent nasal cavity constriction.

After reconstruction of a nasal cavity in the maxilla by burring using a navigation system, the patient required a nasal stent to prevent stenosis. However there was no conventional stent available. A 3D-printed silicone nasal stent was custom made for the cavity and inserted.
