Objective To determine the effi cacy of intravenous dexamethasone in reducing postrhinoplasty edema.Design A prospective, randomized clinical trial with placebo control.Setting Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Al-Sabah and Zain Hospital, Kuwait.Subject Eighty-four patients (male = 28; female = 56) aged between 20 and 40 years, undergoing open rhinoplasty with hump removal and bilateral lateral osteotomies were enrolled in this study.Intervention Patients were randomized to receive two doses of 10 mg of dexamethasone intravenously or placebo, fi rst dose during surgery and second dose 12 hours after surgery. Main outcome measuresPatients were evaluated postoperatively at 24 hours, days 2, 5, 7 and 10 for periorbital edema.Results 10 mg of dexamethasone given intravenously during rhinoplasty and a second dose 12 hours after surgery, reduced postoperative periorbital edema signifi cantly.Conclusion This study showed a statistically signifi cant benefi t of dexamethasone over placebo in reducing periorbital edema after rhinoplasty. No complications were attributed to the administration of dexamethasone.

“…8 However, the literature does suggest that systemic methylpredisolone or dexamethasone does result in less postoperative facial oedema. 9 Some authors also advocate the use of steroids in parotidectomy and thyroidectomy pointing to a putative neuroprotective role provided by the limitation in swelling. 10 Different corticosteroid regimens for peri-operative management of orthognathic patients are available.…”

“…[55] Regarding orthognathic surgery, several investigations demonstrated that perioperative corticosteroid administration significantly reduced post-operative inflammation and edema. [56][57][58][59] In contrast, Munro et al did not observe any significant decrease in postoperative edema even with the highest doses and the longest durations of corticosteroid treatment. (56) The effects of corticosteroids on post-operative edema after oral surgery have been widely investigated in the literature.…”
