Concurrent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and rhinoplasty are safe when performed on appropriate patients. This study found low rates of revision and complications, suggesting the combined procedure is generally well-tolerated.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Concurrent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and rhinoplasty raise concerns regarding increased surgical risk and complications.
  • Evaluating the safety of combined ESS and rhinoplasty is crucial for patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the overall safety and complication rates of performing ESS and rhinoplasty concurrently.
  • To determine if ESS impacts rhinoplasty outcomes or vice versa.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective chart review of 48 patients undergoing concurrent ESS and rhinoplasty from 1998 to 2005.
  • Documentation of surgical procedures, revision rates, and postoperative complications with a mean 12-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • The study included 31 women and 17 men (mean age 37 years).

  • A low rhinoplasty revision rate of 8.3% (4/48) and a complication rate of 6.3% (3/48) were observed.
  • Complications included partial nasal obstruction, pain, and localized infection; none were definitively linked to the combined approach.

    • Conclusions:

    • Rhinoplasty revisions were not associated with concurrent ESS.
    • The only complication possibly linked to the combined approach was a postoperative infection in an insulin-dependent diabetic patient.
    • Screening patients for wound healing factors and severe chronic rhinosinusitis is recommended before combined procedures.
