Endoscopic "Quick" Septoplasty in Preservation Rhinoplasty

Area of Science:

• Plastic Surgery
• Otolaryngology
• Rhinology

Background:

• Preservation rhinoplasty (PR) integrates anatomical studies and advanced techniques.
• Septal surgery is crucial for PR, particularly dorsal preservation procedures.
• Endoscopic technology is applied to enhance septoplasty within PR.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic
• quick
• septoplasty in preservation rhinoplasty.
• To assess the aesthetic and functional outcomes of this technique.
• To determine the operative time and safety profile of endoscopic septoplasty.

Main Methods:

• 166 patients underwent endoscopic
• quick
• septoplasty for septal deviation.
• Preoperative and postoperative nasal dorsum evaluation, rhinomanometry, and patient questionnaires were used.
• Nasal airflow resistance and photographic assessments were compared pre- and post-surgery.

Main Results:

• 98.8% of patients showed improved nasal breathing post-surgery.
• The mean septoplasty operative time was 11.41 minutes, with no major complications.
• Successful completion of the dorsum preservation rhinoplasty procedure was achieved in all cases.

Conclusions:

• Endoscopic septoplasty offers a rapid and effective method for correcting septal deviations.
• The short operative time is advantageous for preservation rhinoplasty, aiding hump reduction and aesthetic evaluation.
• This technique minimizes tissue dissection, reducing intraoperative edema and improving aesthetic assessment.
