Abstract:

BACKGROUND Osteotomy is one of the major steps in rhinoplasty. The aim of study was to compare edema and ecchymosis after external and internal lateral osteotomy in patients who underwent rhinoplasty. METHODS Based on a prospective randomized clinical trial, 168 osteotomies were performed through an external route in a perforating fashion and internal route in a continuous fashion at right or left side respectively in any patient. Subjective scoring system was applied to evaluate edema and ecchymosis on 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 30th days after surgery. RESULTS Edema and ecchymosis were the same in both types of osteotomies. CONCLUSION Regarding edema and ecchymosis, there was not any significant difference between external and internal osteotomies in rhinoplasty.

Effects of rhinoplasty on the internal nasal valve: a comparison between internal continuous and external perforating osteotomy.

The purpose of the study was to compare the effect of 2 widely used methods of lateral osteotomy on the internal nasal valve (INV) by measuring minimal cross-sectional area using acoustic rhinometry (AR) and computed tomography (CT) in the pre- and postoperative setting. Thirty adult patients noting nasal deformity requiring rhinoplasty were enrolled. Patients were divided into 3 groups of 10 p...

A Predictable Approach for Osteotomy in Rhinoplasty: A New Concept of Open External Osteotomy

Nasal osteotomies are a cornerstone step for closing an open roof deformity after dorsal hump surgery. Notwithstanding, the optimal method of nasal osteotomy remains controversial, as evidenced by the variety of approaches with no consensus between authors. Moreover, the election of the technique responds to surgeon's preference. We proposed a new way to perform both medial and lateral osteotom...
