Surgical Treatment of Atresia in the Nasal Cavity with Using a Superelastic TiNi Foil

Abstract

The use of superelastic NiTi (nickelid titanium ) foils for patients with atresia of the nasal cavity as a structural device provide a firm fit of the flap and its engraftment in the donor area. Due to its superelasticity and reverse formability the construction reliably ensures the formation of the nasal passage and restoration of nasal breathing. Immediate and long-term functional and aesthetic results of surgery and absence of recurrence in these patients demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method with the recommendations of its use as a method of choice.
