Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Rhinology

Background:

  • Conventional nasal osteotomy is a critical step in rhinoplasty and other nasal surgeries.
  • The traditional 'blind' technique carries risks of inaccuracy and potential complications.
  • There is a need for enhanced precision and safety in osteotomy procedures.

Observation:

  • An endoscope-assisted technique was utilized for nasal osteotomy in 7 patients.
  • The endoscopic approach provided direct visualization during the osteotomy.
  • This facilitated precise execution of the bone cuts.

Findings:

  • The endoscopic technique demonstrated enhanced safety and accuracy in performing nasal osteotomy.
  • Operative time was only marginally increased by approximately 20 minutes compared to conventional methods.

  • No complications were attributed to the use of the endoscopic approach in this series.

    • Implications:

    • Endoscopic-assisted nasal osteotomy represents a valuable advancement in surgical techniques.
    • This method offers a safer and more accurate alternative to conventional blind osteotomy.
    • Further adoption may improve patient outcomes in nasal reconstructive surgery.
