Epistaxis01:30

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...

Postoperative compression taping significantly reduced bruising after open rhinoplasty by 36.2%. This simple, safe, and low-cost technique enhances recovery and is recommended for routine use.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Facial Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Postoperative ecchymosis and swelling are common after open rhinoplasty.
  • These effects can negatively impact patient satisfaction and recovery.
  • Objective evidence supporting compression taping's efficacy is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To objectively assess the impact of postoperative compression taping on ecchymosis extent.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of compression taping in primary open rhinoplasty patients.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective, split-face, randomized controlled trial.
  • 64 patients undergoing primary open rhinoplasty.
  • Compression tape applied to one side, contralateral side as control, measured on postoperative day 5.

Published on: January 23, 2026

Main Results:

  • Taping reduced ecchymosis surface area by 36.2% (228.4 mm² vs. 358.9 mm²).
  • The reduction in bruising was statistically significant (P < .05).
  • The intervention was safe and well-tolerated.

Conclusions:

  • Postoperative compression taping significantly reduces ecchymosis after open rhinoplasty.
  • The technique is simple, safe, low-cost, and effective.
  • Supports routine use to improve postoperative recovery and patient outcomes.
