Summary
This study modifies the traditional nasal delivery approach for rhinoplasty, using a transcartilaginous incision to avoid nasal valve obstruction and improve tip support. This technique offers advantages in selected cases.
Area of Science:
- Plastic Surgery
- Rhinoplasty Techniques
Background:
- The traditional nasal delivery approach is effective for nasal tip remodeling but has declined in popularity.
- Concerns include scarring at the nasal valve area and weakened tip support due to disruption of collagen fibers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a modified nasal delivery approach using a transcartilaginous incision.
- To highlight the benefits of controlled interference with tip support in specific rhinoplasty cases.
Main Methods:
- Modification of the traditional delivery approach for rhinoplasty.
- Utilizing a transcartilaginous incision instead of an intercartilaginous incision.
- Leveraging collagen fiber disruption in the scroll area for controlled tip support alteration.
Main Results:
- The modified approach prevents damage to the nasal valve area, avoiding functional obstruction.
- It allows for controlled manipulation of tip support by disrupting scroll area collagen fibers.
- This technique offers potential advantages in selected rhinoplasty cases.
Conclusions:
- The modified nasal delivery approach with a transcartilaginous incision addresses the limitations of the traditional method.
- This technique can prevent nasal valve compromise and offers controlled tip support modification.
- It presents a valuable alternative for specific rhinoplasty procedures.

01:30Epistaxis
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...

01:29Suctioning 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.

Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned under...
