Septoplasty, a functional reconstructive surgery, has high complication rates despite its perceived ease. Careful surgical technique, including precise dissection and reconstruction, is crucial to minimize risks and ensure optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Technique

Context:

  • Septoplasty is often perceived as simple, yet exhibits significant failure and complication rates.
  • Functional reconstructive septoplasty presents unique surgical challenges.

Purpose:

  • To discuss specific difficulties and potential pitfalls in functional reconstructive septoplasty.
  • To emphasize critical surgical maneuvers for preventing postoperative complications.

Summary:

  • Optimal visualization with an operating microscope is essential.
  • Key techniques include meticulous subperichondrial dissection, Cottle-tunnel creation, and precise cartilage mobilization and reconstruction.
  • Stable reconstruction of the posterior septum and anterior cartilage re-fixation are vital.

Impact:

  • Adherence to these meticulous techniques can reduce complications like redeviation, pseudo-hump nose, and septal defects.
  • Early recognition and prompt revision surgery are recommended for complications such as septal hematoma or perforation.
