Patient assessment form for septorhinoplasty

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Aesthetic Surgery
• Surgical Innovation

Background:

• Septorhinoplasty is a complex aesthetic surgical procedure.
• Effective patient follow-up through meticulous recording is crucial for surgical skill development.
• Existing methods for pre- and post-operative documentation can be cumbersome.

Purpose of the Study:

• To develop a novel, simplified, single-document form for recording septorhinoplasty patient data.
• To enhance the practicality and safety of obtaining pre- and post-operative records.
• To establish a standardized tool for assessing septorhinoplasty patients in research and clinical practice.

Main Methods:

• Development of a new, user-friendly, one-page documentation form.
• Focus on practical application for recording patient information before and after surgery.
• Designed for ease of use by aesthetic surgeons.

Main Results:

• The novel form simplifies the process of collecting patient data.
• It offers a more practical and potentially safer method for documentation compared to previous forms.
• The form is designed to support prospective and retrospective scientific studies.

Conclusions:

• The developed form offers a practical and standardized approach to septorhinoplasty patient assessment.
• It has the potential to improve the quality of data collection for research and clinical evaluation.
• Widespread adoption could lead to more optimal scientific studies and consistent reporting in aesthetic surgery.
