Abstract
ALI, Agustín H et al. A-GI-VA (Alí-Giacomotti-Vassaro). A novel 3D computed tomography scan technique for diagnosis of the nasal structure. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2019, vol.45, n.4, pp.349-354. Epub Mar 02, 2020. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922019000400003.
Background and objective
Aesthetic rhinoplasty is one of the most challenging surgical procedures, where a bony and a cartilaginous framework covered by skin meet into a tridimensional structure that must be interpreted and modified as one to obtain a successful result.
Methods
A regular 3D CT scan of the maxillofacial area with shaded surface display (SSD) technique is used to get a precise evaluation of the nasal cartilages and their relationship with the skin.
Results
We obtained a greater detail of the nasal structure, both of its components: bone cartilage in order to improve nasal surgery planning.
Conclusions
The A-GI-VA technique allows us to depict the nasal anatomy and determine a better surgery planning.
