Advancements in the Application of Artificial Materials in Nasal Surgery.

Abstract

With the ongoing advancement of nasal endoscopic surgical techniques, rhinologists are increasingly tasked with addressing not only nasal sinus lesions but also exploring transnasal approaches for managing lesions involving the eyes and skull base. The complex anatomy of the nose, adjacent to the skull base superiorly and the medial orbital walls bilaterally, supports the use of artificial materials during surgical procedures for repair or reconstruction. Furthermore, artificial materials aid in the regeneration of nasal mucous membranes, promoting healing. This article reviews the selection of artificial materials used in nasal surgery and recent advancements in related research.
