Functional and aesthetic outcomes of no dissection nasal dorsum using sub dorsal Septal Excision in preservation rhinoplasty

Abstract

Background: Dorsal preservation (DP) caused privilege change in the concept of rhinoplasty and a promising superior functional and aesthetic transformation in rhinoplasty surgery. Avoiding dissection of the dorsal nasal bone and cartilage will leave the soft-tissue envelope intact, leading to a fine and smooth appearance, faster operation with less subsequent edema, and overall preservation of the dorsal aesthetic line. Methods: This prospective study included 113 patients who underwent DP rhinoplasty for nasal hump treatment with minimum dissection of nasal dorsum soft-tissue envelope. Results were evaluated using the Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey (SCHNOS). Results: The mean preoperative SCHNOS score was 7.21; the mean obstructive score was 2.95 ± 1.068 and the mean aesthetic score was 4.27 ± 0.771. The average lowering of the dorsal hump was 4.4 mm. Approximately 96% of patients showed improvement in the SCHNOS score after surgery, 86.7% (98 patients) showed improvement in the obstructive symptoms and 95.6% (108 patients) showed improvement in the aesthetic score. Complications were seen in 22.11% (most commonly residual hump in 13.27% of cases and dorsal indentation in 5.31%), bleeding was seen in 2.65%, and granuloma formation at the dorsal osteotomy site was seen in 0.88%. There was a very significant improvement in the aesthetic, obstructive, and overall SCHNOS score (P = 0.000) for each parameter. Conclusions: DP rhinoplasty is a safe and very effective procedure, with very low risk of complications. Most of the treated patients have improvement of the obstructive and aesthetic outcome after surgery. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, IV.

“…A review of the literature supports the improvement of the results after surgery in both structural and preservation rhinoplasty and shows high satisfaction scores in both (4,18) . the only limitation as far as concerned in the study is the number of involved participants.…”

“…Septorhinoplasty is the most explored surgical and researchable operation over the last three decades, corresponding and growing in popularity both universally and in the Iraq region (1)(2)(3)(4) . In facial plastic surgery, Septorhinoplasty is a complex surgical operation, regardless of the indication of surgery, the surgeon should equilibrium between the appearance and functional change of the nose.…”

“…In facial plastic surgery, Septorhinoplasty is a complex surgical operation, regardless of the indication of surgery, the surgeon should equilibrium between the appearance and functional change of the nose. Because nasal function and cosmetics are complementary to each other, aesthetic rhinoplasty can have functional sequelae, and vice versa) (4) . Relevant patient satisfaction through, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) is essential for assessment outcomes in everyday clinical practice (5) .…”
