Application of three-dimensional printing technology and Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle in deviated nose correction

Deviated nose correction, a challenging procedure, requires a strategic approach to achieve better results. The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle can be adapted as a strategy. Three-dimensional (3D) scans and computer simulations enhance planning. Anterior septal reconstruction and support with titanium miniplates are helpful in correcting nasal and septal deviation correction. During surgery, checking with a customized 3D printing rhinoplasty guide is essential for realizing the simulated nose shape. A detailed assessment of nose shape and subjective evaluation of patient satisfaction are necessary during the follow-up period for continuous improvement.
