Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

698
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...

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway01:29

Suctioning the Nasopharyngeal Airway

4.7K
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.

Summary

Stable caudal septum fixation is crucial in rhinoplasty to prevent stress at key nasal areas. Proper recipient bed preparation and secure suturing techniques ensure optimal surgical outcomes and structural integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Reconstruction

Background:

  • The nasal septum's key areas and anterior nasal spine experience significant stress during rhinoplasty.
  • Stable fixation of the caudal septum is essential for successful surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline critical techniques for achieving stable caudal septum fixation during rhinoplasty.
  • To detail methods for preparing the recipient bed and employing secure suture fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing scissors, osteotomes, or powered instruments to prepare the recipient bed for caudal septum fixation.
  • Employing simple or multiple sutures for secure fixation to bone and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Suturing separated L-struts to nasal bones and upper lateral cartilages if necessary.

Main Results:

  • A well-prepared recipient bed and appropriate suture techniques are prerequisites for stable fixation.
  • Splinting spreader grafts enhance septal stability.
  • Preserving a dorsal segment (12-15mm) and attached mucoperichondrium at the key area helps prevent dorsal irregularities.

Conclusions:

  • Meticulous preparation and fixation techniques are vital for preventing complications like dorsal irregularities in rhinoplasty.
  • Surgical strategies focusing on structural support and graft utilization improve septal stability and aesthetic results.
