Day case rhinoplasty is a safe and viable option, with most patients not requiring inpatient admission. This approach is supported by advances in day surgery practices.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Day Case Surgery

Background:

  • Rhinoplasty is often perceived as an inpatient procedure due to concerns about trauma, epistaxis, and periorbital hematoma.
  • Historically, rhinoplasty necessitated inpatient stays, impacting resource allocation and patient experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and safety of performing rhinoplasty as a planned day case procedure.
  • To analyze admission rates and readmissions following day case rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 97 patient records undergoing rhinoplasty at St. George's Hospital.
  • Analysis of planned vs. unplanned admissions and readmission rates post-discharge.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Only 18% of patients required planned admission, and 12% had unplanned admissions.
  • No patients were readmitted to the hospital after discharge, indicating a high safety profile.
  • The majority of rhinoplasty surgeries were successfully managed on a day case basis.

Conclusions:

  • Day case rhinoplasty is a practical and safe surgical model, aligning with advancements in UK day surgery.
  • Dedicated day case units and the availability of overnight admission beds are recommended for optimal practice.
  • The findings support the wider adoption of day case rhinoplasty, challenging traditional inpatient perceptions.
