Epistaxis

Epistaxis

Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Plastic Surgery
Craniofacial Surgery
Otolaryngology

Background:

Septorhinoplasty in children poses risks of nasal and premaxilla growth disturbances.
The open (external) rhinoplasty approach offers advantages for pediatric nasal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To discuss the indications, advantages, disadvantages, and operative techniques of open rhinoplasty in children.
To illustrate the application of open rhinoplasty in pediatric cases.

Main Methods:

Review of indications for open rhinoplasty in pediatric patients.
Discussion of surgical technique focusing on preserving the cartilaginous nasal skeleton.
Case examples illustrating specific indications such as dermoid cysts and cleft lip noses.

Main Results:

The open approach maintains the integrity of the cartilaginous nasal skeleton, reducing growth disturbance risk.
Absolute indications include dermoid cysts, cleft lip noses, and septal abscesses.
Relative indications involve severe nasal airway obstruction and progressive nasal distortion due to septal deviations.

Conclusions:

Open rhinoplasty is a viable technique in children, particularly for specific congenital and acquired nasal deformities.
Preservation of the cartilaginous framework is key to minimizing adverse effects on facial growth.
Careful patient selection based on established indications ensures optimal outcomes in pediatric septorhinoplasty.
