    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology and Plastic Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Rhinophyma, a severe form of rosacea, presents significant cosmetic and functional challenges.
    • Existing surgical treatments for rhinophyma vary in efficacy and cosmetic results.

    Purpose:

    • To critically evaluate operative techniques for rhinophyma treatment.
    • To identify the optimal surgical method for rhinophyma with the best cosmetic outcome.
    • To emphasize the importance of histopathological examination in rhinophyma surgery.

    Summary:

    • Decortication is presented as the method of choice for rhinophyma, involving removal of hyperplastic nasal tissue down to the sebaceous gland base.
    • This technique facilitates spontaneous, scar-free re-epithelialization.
    • Alternative methods like deeper excision with skin grafting or flaps yield inferior cosmetic results.

    Impact:

    • Highlights decortication as the preferred surgical approach for rhinophyma, ensuring optimal cosmetic results.
    • Underscores the necessity of histopathological analysis to rule out malignancy (basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma) in excised rhinophyma tissue.
    • Provides guidance for clinicians on selecting the most effective and aesthetically pleasing surgical intervention for rhinophyma.
