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...

Sutures of the Skull

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

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:

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology
Rhinoplasty Techniques

Background:

Nasal tip plasty requires precise control over cartilage shape.
Existing techniques may not universally address all cartilage contour irregularities.
Standardized algorithms are beneficial for consistent surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a novel universal horizontal mattress suture for nasal tip plasty.
To demonstrate its application in controlling nasal cartilage convexities and concavities.
To integrate this technique into a simple algorithm for tip plasty and revision rhinoplasty.

Main Methods:

Utilized five basic suture techniques: transdomal, interdomal, lateral crural mattress, columella-septal, and intercrural.
Developed a universal horizontal mattress suture for versatile cartilage contouring.
Applied these suturing techniques in closed and secondary rhinoplasty procedures.

Main Results:

The universal horizontal mattress suture effectively controls nasal cartilage shape, addressing both convexities and concavities.
The described algorithm provides a systematic approach to tip plasty.
Successful application in both primary and revision rhinoplasty cases was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

The universal horizontal mattress suture is a valuable addition to the rhinoplasty surgeon's armamentarium.
This technique offers predictable and reproducible results in reshaping nasal cartilage.
It provides a versatile solution for various tip plasty and revision rhinoplasty scenarios.
