[Fine modeling of nasal cavity and its application in precision surgical design]

Abstract

In recent years, the research hotspot of rhinology is looking forward to effective method for changing the anatomical structure of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus. And it will build up the optimal relationship between airflow field and biological effects in rhinology surgency. Now in precise medical treatment, we are eager to find a more reasonable and optimized surgical method before operation, with the help of information technology and big data science. It will not only achieve the greatest biological effect, but also maximize the protection of the lateral wall of the nasal cavity, in order to eliminate the potential recurrence of sinusitis. This paper mainly includes three parts: status and trends of nasal cavity modeling, biomechanics research progress and progress in evaluation of nasal surgery. It is very helpful for promoting the applying of up-to-date model in precise surgical design.

Keywords: computer fluid dynamics; modeling of nasal cavity and paranasal sinus; precision medicine; virtual surgery.
