Assessing nasal surgery outcomes objectively is challenging due to form-function complexity. New technologies promise improved objective measures for nasal form and function, addressing current limitations in aesthetic and functional rhinoplasty.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Plastic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Objective assessment of nasal surgery outcomes is complex, balancing intricate nasal form and function.
- Current objective measures have limitations, including poor correlation with subjective patient reports.
- The healthcare environment increasingly demands objective outcome data.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current objective assessment methods for aesthetic and functional nasal surgery.
- To discuss emerging technologies and future trends in objective nasal surgery assessment.
- To highlight the potential of new tools to overcome existing limitations.
Main Methods:
- Review of existing literature on objective measures in rhinoplasty.
- Discussion of advancements in 3D imaging for nasal form analysis.
- Exploration of computational fluid dynamics for nasal airflow assessment.
Main Results:
- Current objective measures for nasal surgery have significant shortcomings.
- Advances in computer, imaging, and bioengineering are enabling innovative assessment tools.
- 3D analysis and computational fluid dynamics represent evolving methods for form and function evaluation.
Conclusions:
- Objective assessment of nasal surgery is evolving beyond traditional methods.
- New technologies offer potential solutions to improve the accuracy and clinical utility of objective measures.
- Future innovations may significantly alter how nasal form and function are evaluated post-surgery.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
