“…For tamponade, the paraffine gauze is used, the gauze with antibiotic ointment or tampons made from other materials such as polypropylene 8 , polyethylene oxide gel 9,10 , respiratory tubes, vaginal tampons 11 , X-ray film 13 and others. For external fixation, nasal splints that are most commonly used are plaster of Paris, metal and various plastics [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] .…”

Background/Aim. Most surgeons, at the end of corrective rhinoplasty, use endonasal tamponade and external splinting, primarily because of hemostasis and immobilization. Possible complications of this surgery are various. Pain, nose edema, palpebral swelling and ecchymosis, are the most common and usual. The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of nonaesthetic complications and the efficiency of corrective rhinoplasty without the use of tamponade and external splint. Methods. One hundred and fiftyone patients, who underwent primary corrective rhinoplasty without endonasal tamponade and without an external splint, were analyzed at the Clinical Centre "Kragujevac" in Kragujevac, Serbia, in the period 1999-May 2016. The surgeries were done by the same surgeon. Instead of a splint, sterile skin adhesive tapes were used. Study was prospective, consecutive case-series type. We analyzed the possible complications and subjective estimates of the patients who underwent primary corrective rhinoplasty in described fashion. In assessing postoparative pain, the visual analogue scale (VAS) in a range of 1 to 5 was used. Palpebral swelling and ecchymosis, were estimated 24h after surgery, by the Surgeon Periorbital Rating of Edema and Ecchymosis (SPREE) scale ranging from 0 to 5. The degree of restriction of nasal respiration was evaluated by the scale 1-4. The overall comfort of patients in the postoperative period was evaluated according to a scale: good, no opinion, bad.

“…[3] Seitchik advocated the use of impression compound as a safe method for external splinting following a rhinoplasty or nasal fracture reduction. [4] Impression compound is also used as a bite registration material for face-bow mounting to record the spatial orientation of jaws for performing mock surgery prior to orthognathic surgery. Pani and Hedge described a two stage technique utilizing greenstick compound and addition silicone impression material to provide a safe, economical, and accurate method for recording impressions in children with cleft lip and palate.…”

Most surgeons agree that after completion of rhino-plastic surgery, a protective dressing should be applied to provide stabilization of the bony nasal skeleton, approximation of the skin flap to underlying bone, control of edema, and prevention of hematoma formation. Joseph felt that the dressing played a psychological role as well, preventing the patient from being alarmed by postoperative swelling. This has been accomplished by a variety of materials and methods both historically and presently.
