Epistaxis

Epistaxis

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 Airway

Suctioning 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.

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Anatomy
Nasal Physiology

Background:

Preservation rhinoplasty is gaining traction in surgical literature.
A single technique cannot address all anatomical variations in rhinoplasty.
Patient-specific analysis is crucial for successful outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the anatomy of the keystone area and nasal dorsum dynamics using biotensegrity.
To compare push-down and let-down techniques in preservation rhinoplasty.
To advocate for preservation and repositioning strategies.

Main Methods:

Anatomical review of the keystone area.
Application of the biotensegrity concept to nasal dorsum dynamics.
Physiological analysis of nasal valve function related to surgical techniques.

Main Results:

The let-down technique preserves the tensegrity of the nasal pyramid.
Preservation strategies are generally superior to resection.
Repositioning is preferred over extensive manipulation.

Conclusions:

Patient analysis is paramount in preservation rhinoplasty.
The biotensegrity concept offers insights into nasal dorsum dynamics.
Preservation and repositioning techniques are recommended for optimal nasal function and aesthetics.
