Summary

Bacteremia (bacteria in the bloodstream) can occur during open septorhinoplasty, but not typically during standard septoplasty. This transient bacteremia during open septorhinoplasty requires preoperative precautions for high-risk patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Infections
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Septoplasty and open septorhinoplasty are common surgical procedures.
  • Bacteremia is a potential complication of invasive procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of bacteremia during septoplasty and open septorhinoplasty.
  • To compare bacteremia rates between the two surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • 60 patients undergoing either septoplasty (30) or open septorhinoplasty (30) were included.
  • Nasal cultures and peripheral blood cultures (pre-, intra-, and post-operatively) were analyzed.
  • Blood cultures were processed using the BACTEC method.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • No bacteremia was detected in pre- or post-operative blood cultures.
  • Intraoperative bacteremia occurred in 3.3% of septoplasty patients.
  • Intraoperative bacteremia was observed in 13.3% of open septorhinoplasty patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Transient bacteremia is associated with open septorhinoplasty.
    • Bacteremia during open septorhinoplasty was asymptomatic in this study.
    • Preoperative precautions are advised for high-risk patients undergoing open septorhinoplasty due to potential bacteremia.
