Aesthetic and functional outcomes in patients with a nasal prosthesis

The aim was to evaluate the aesthetic and functional outcomes in patients with a nasal prosthesis after radical tumour resection. A questionnaire with 15 domains was created to evaluate the satisfaction of patients with their nasal prosthesis. Correlations with the results of the University of Washington Quality of Life (UWQOL) questionnaire, which was also completed by the patients, were analyzed. Forty-three patients with a partial or total nasal prosthesis completed the questionnaire. Twenty-seven patients were male and 16 were female; their median age was 62 years.
