Combining rhinoplasty with endoscopic sinus surgery is now feasible and safe for treating chronic rhinosinusitis. This combined approach effectively manages nasal obstruction and postnasal drip in most patients.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Plastic Surgery

Background:

  • Traditionally, rhinoplasty and sinus surgery for rhinosinusitis were performed separately.
  • Advances in endoscopic sinonasal surgery offer precision, minimal trauma, and reduced hemorrhage, making combined procedures feasible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the indications, management, and outcomes of combined rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this combined approach in patients with varying severity of rhinosinusitis.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective review of 40 patients undergoing combined rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.
  • Patients were categorized into mild, moderate, or severe sinus disease based on location and severity.
  • Common symptoms included nasal obstruction and postnasal drip, with a history of refractory sinusitis.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients presented with mild to moderate sinus disease.
  • The combined procedure was found to be safe and effective for mild to moderate cases.
  • Selected patients with severe sinus disease also benefited from the combined approach.

Conclusions:

  • Combined rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery is a viable and effective treatment option for chronic rhinosinusitis.
  • This approach offers a safe solution for patients with refractory symptoms, particularly those with mild to moderate disease.
