Nose and Nasal Cavity

Nose and Nasal Cavity

The nose is composed of an observable exterior segment (external nose) and an internal segment within the skull known as the nasal cavity (internal nose). The external nose, visible on the face, consists of a framework of bone and hyaline cartilage enveloped in skin and muscle and lined with a mucous membrane. This structure is supported by the frontal bone, nasal bones, and maxillary bone and is supplemented by a cartilaginous framework comprising the septal nasal cartilage, lateral nasal...

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.
Equipment Required

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Administering Oxygen by Nasal Cannula

Oxygen therapy is critical to patient care, especially for those struggling with respiratory issues. This intervention increases the oxygen concentration in the lungs, enhancing the amount of oxygen transported to the body's tissues. One standard method of delivering supplemental oxygen is through a nasal cannula, a non-invasive device that provides low to medium oxygen concentrations.
Nasal Cannulas
A nasal cannula is a lightweight tube split into two prongs placed in the nostrils, connected...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology
Rhinology

Background:

Nasal obstruction is a common complication following rhinoplasty, leading to patient dissatisfaction.
Accurate diagnosis of the anatomical epicenter of obstruction is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the diagnostic methods for identifying the cause of nasal obstruction post-rhinoplasty.
To describe surgical techniques for correcting various types of nasal valve dysfunction.

Main Methods:

Evaluation of internal nasal valve, intervalve area, and external nasal valve abnormalities.
Surgical correction using spreader grafts, flaring sutures, butterfly grafts, local flaps, composite grafts, alar batten grafts, and lateral crura reconstruction.
Adjunctive therapies for inferior turbinate hypertrophy and concha bullosa.

Main Results:

Surgical interventions can increase nasal cross-sectional area and improve airflow.
Specific techniques address static or dynamic obstructions in different nasal valve areas.
Correction of alar base malposition and intervalve dysfunction enhances nasal function.

Conclusions:

Precise anatomic diagnosis is key to successful surgical correction of post-rhinoplasty nasal obstruction.
Various surgical methods effectively restore nasal airflow and improve patient outcomes.
