Abstract:
Objectives: To evaluate the relationship between anterior maxillary sinus wall position and nasal bone asymmetry, and to assess their association with patient-reported aesthetic and functional outcomes following septorhinoplasty. Methods: Preoperative and postoperative evaluations were performed using the Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) and Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaires. Nasal bone dimensions were measured preoperatively using computed tomography (CT) scans. Results: A positive correlation was observed between anterior maxillary sinus wall position and nasal bone asymmetry, with significant nasal bone discrepancies contributing to nasal deviation. Conclusions: Anterior maxillary sinus wall position and nasal bone asymmetry are significantly associated with patient-reported outcomes following septorhinoplasty. Consideration of these anatomical parameters during surgical planning may improve aesthetic and functional results.
