Traitement chirurgical reconstructif du rhinophyma: rapport de deux casIntroduction. Le rhinophyma est une déformation nasale défigurée due à la prolifération des glandes sébacées et du tissu conjonctif sous-jacent. Elle affecte principalement les hommes âgés de 50 à 70 ans. La maladie est associée à un stigmate négatif, une faible estime de soi et une réduction de la qualité de vie. Les principales raisons pour lesquelles les patients recourent à une aide médicale sont les problèmes esthétiques et les déficiences fonctionnelles. La chirurgie est incontestablement le traitement de choix du rhinophyma. Rapports de cas. Nous présentons les cas de deux patients diagnostiqués avec la maladie rhinophyma, qui ont subi un traitement chirurgical à l'Hôpital Universitaire «St. George», Plovdiv, Bulgarie. La subtilité et l'innovation de la chirurgie étaient que la peau hypertrophiée du nez était disséquée en couches, les glandes sébacées qui produisaient du pus étaient extirpées. On a essayé de préserver les glandes normales ABSTRACT Introduction. Rhinophyma is a disfiguring nasal deformity due to the proliferation of sebaceous glands and underlying connective tissue. It affects mainly men, aged between 50 and 70 years old. The disease is associated with negative stigma, low self-esteem, reduction in quality of life. The main reasons patients seek medical help are cosmetic problems and functional impairments. Surgery is indisputably the treatment of choice for rhinophyma. Cases report. We present the cases of two patients diagnosed with rhinophyma, who underwent surgical treatment in the University Hospital "St. George", Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The subtlety and innovation of the surgery was that the hypertrophied skin of the nose was dissected in layers, the sebaceous glands that produced pus were extirpated. The normal glands sought to be preserved, to nourish the newly formed dermis postoperatively. Both patients responded well to the procedure, without postoperative complications or wound infections.
