Epistaxis01:30

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 Skull01:22

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...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Suture techniques are crucial for nasal cartilage manipulation in rhinoplasty.
  • Effective sculpting of the nasal tip is essential for aesthetic and functional outcomes.
  • Existing techniques may have limitations in achieving complete control over nasal tip shape.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel 4-suture algorithm for comprehensive nasal tip sculpting in primary rhinoplasty.
  • To describe the application and benefits of the hemi-transdomal suture.
  • To introduce the universal horizontal mattress suture for broader cartilage correction and strengthening.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-suture algorithm applied after standard cephalic trim of the lateral crus.
  • Utilizing techniques including the hemi-transdomal suture, a variation of the transdomal suture.
  • Application of the universal horizontal mattress suture for various cartilage deformities.

Main Results:

  • The 4-suture algorithm provides simple and complete control over nasal tip shape in primary rhinoplasty.
  • The hemi-transdomal suture effectively narrows the dome and everts the lateral crus, preventing nostril rim concavities.
  • The universal horizontal mattress suture corrects convexities/concavities, straightens, and strengthens nasal cartilage, including septum and lateral crus.

Conclusions:

  • The 4-suture algorithm is a versatile tool for nasal tip plasty, applicable in both open and closed rhinoplasty approaches.
  • The hemi-transdomal suture offers improved dome narrowing and nostril rim aesthetics.
  • The universal horizontal mattress suture demonstrates broad utility in correcting diverse nasal cartilage irregularities and enhancing graft strength.
