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...

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

Cardiomyopathy VII: Pre and Post Operative Nursing Management

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...

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.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
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...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Septoplasty is crucial before rhinoplasty for optimal aesthetic and functional results. Surgical approach for septum correction depends on deviation severity, ranging from endonasal techniques for minor issues to open reconstruction for complex cases.

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology

Background:

Septoplasty is a foundational procedure in rhinoplasty, significantly impacting aesthetic and functional outcomes.
The septum's condition is critical for the success of subsequent rhinoplasty procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline current concepts and surgical strategies for septum correction in rhinoplasty.
To differentiate between endonasal and open approaches based on septal deviation complexity.

Main Methods:

Review of standard endonasal techniques (hemitransfixion incision, swinging door, scoring, batten grafts, caudal septal replacement) for mild deviations.
Discussion of open rhinoplasty with extracorporeal septum reconstruction for severe, complex, or revision cases (S-shaped, cleft nose, multiple fractures).

Main Results:

Slight septal deviations can be effectively managed with various endonasal techniques.
Severe and complex septal deformities often necessitate an open approach with extracorporeal reconstruction for optimal correction.

Conclusions:

The choice of septoplasty technique must be individualized based on preoperative analysis and the specific pathological condition of the septum.
A tailored approach to septum correction is essential for achieving predictable aesthetic and functional results in rhinoplasty.
