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...

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

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...

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
Rhinology
Facial Aesthetics

Background:

Traditional nasal tip reduction can compromise structural support, leading to adverse functional and aesthetic results.
Bulbous nasal tips often require refinement techniques that balance aesthetic goals with structural integrity.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a refined open structure rhinoplasty technique for nasal tip and supratip modification.
To evaluate the functional and aesthetic outcomes of this novel technique.

Main Methods:

Prospective study involving open structure nasal tip refinement.
Utilized scroll joint excision and septal-lateral crural suture for lateral crus flattening.
Assessed outcomes using nasal peak inspiratory flow (NPIF), obstruction scores, SNOT-22, SF-36, and patient-reported breathing/cosmesis anchor scores.

Main Results:

Significant improvement in mean NPIF (100 to 139 L/min) and reduced nasal obstruction.
Marked improvement in SNOT-22 scores (1.45 to 0.63, P < .01).
All patients experienced enhanced cosmesis, with only 2.2% reporting breathing impairment.

Conclusions:

The described technique effectively refines the nasal tip while maintaining or improving nasal airway function.
Achieves high patient satisfaction with aesthetic outcomes.
Highlights the importance of addressing preoperative nasal obstruction, even in cosmetic rhinoplasty cases.
