Z-성형술과 점막조직이식편을 이용한 구개수구개인두성형술 이후 발생한 반흔구축의 교정 = Correction of the Scar Contracture of the Oral Mucosa after Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty with Z-Plasty and Mucosal Tissue Graft

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A foreign body sensation or a globus symptom of the throat after uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) is caused by an internal scar formation and such symptoms generally disappear in 9 months after surgery. In rare cases, this sensation could be permanent. If this condition persists, possible primary treatment could be multiple stage steroid injection into the affected site for softening of the submucosal fibrous formation. But rotational or advancement mucosal flaps could be effective if the steroid injection does not work. We present a case of scar contracture of oral mucosa after UPPP was corrected with Z-plasty and mucosal tissue graft.
