Nose and Nasal Cavity01:24

Nose and Nasal Cavity

13.3K
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...

Epistaxis01:30

Epistaxis

657
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

4.1K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal defects significantly impact facial aesthetics and function.
  • Tumor resection, particularly for basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is a common cause of nasal defects.
  • Established reconstructive techniques provide a framework for addressing these complex defects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of various reconstructive techniques for nasal defects following tumor resection.
  • To assess the morpho-functional outcomes and success rates of nasal reconstructions.
  • To demonstrate the utility of an algorithmic approach in nasal reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 33 patients undergoing nasal reconstruction between 2010 and 2016.
  • Application of reconstructive techniques including primary closure, skin grafts, local flaps, regional flaps, and microvascular free tissue transfer.
  • Use of septal or auricular cartilage grafts when cartilage was resected.

Main Results:

  • Malignant tumor resection was the primary indication for reconstruction, with BCC and SCC being the most frequent.
  • Most defects involved the nasal dorsum and ala, with rare skeletal involvement.
  • All patients achieved optimal reconstruction with high success rates in morpho-functional restoration; secondary surgery was occasionally required for specific flaps like the paramedian forehead flap.

Conclusions:

  • Nasal reconstruction using established techniques and an algorithmic approach yields satisfactory morpho-functional restoration.
  • The described methods ensure high success rates and minimal donor site morbidity.
  • Restoring anatomical subunits is key to achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes in nasal reconstruction.
