Disease relevance of Rhinoplasty

• Bilateral 2.5 and 3.0 mm nasal bone osteophytes developed five weeks following the initiation of oral isotretinoin therapy (50 mg daily) for severe cystic acne vulgaris in a healthy 30-year-old white woman who had undergone uneventful rhinoplasty 12 years earlier [1].
• A one-time bolus of 10 mg of dexamethasone was beneficial in decreasing edema and ecchymosis in rhinoplasty [2].
• The histopathologic evaluation demonstrated significant fibrosis in the supratip soft tissue of 14 of 16 patients undergoing secondary rhinoplasty without the injection of triamcinolone acetonide and in only 13 of 23 patients who underwent primary rhinoplasty (p<0.05) [3].
• Though conservation of surgical injury will certainly improve rhinoplasty results, a midline tensegrity rebuild using the time-honored surgical technique of layered wound closure will provide the maximum level of surgical control presently available overnasal tip modification [4].
• External rhinoplasty approach for extirpation and immediate reconstruction of congenital midline nasal dermoids [5].

High impact information on Rhinoplasty

• Rhinoplasty patients and matched elective-surgery controls completed the Facial Appearance Sorting Test, the General Health Questionnaire, a Repertory Grid and the Masculinity/Femininity Scale [6].
• We investigated the efficacy and safety of gabapentin in rhinoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery patients [7].
• Plasma catecholamine concentrations have been measured in nine patients undergoing rhinoplasty following infiltration to the facial area of 21 ml of 0.5% lignocaine with adrenaline 1:200,000 and in seven patients undergoing brachial plexus blockade with 40 ml of 0.5% lignocaine, 0.25% bupivacaine and adrenaline 1:200,000 [8].
• Blood levels in patients receiving intranasal cocaine for topical anesthesia while undergoing rhinoplasty are also presented [9].
• OBJECTIVE: This study aims to interrogate the relationship between patient stress and the levels of acute phase proteins (APP) in rhinoplasty [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Rhinoplasty

• Use of single-dose dexamethasone (either preoperatively or postoperatively) in rhinoplasty has a significant effect in decreasing upper and lower eyelid edema and upper eyelid ecchymosis for the first 2 days when compared with a placebo group [11].
• Effects of single-dose steroid usage on edema, ecchymosis, and intraoperative bleeding in rhinoplasty [11].

Biological context of Rhinoplasty

• Enflurane is therefore the inhalation agent of choice for use with 1% lidocaine with epinephrine 1:100,000 for rhinoplasty [12].

Anatomical context of Rhinoplasty

• From the phoniatrician's point of view, rhinophonia in (secondary lip and septo-) rhinoplasty (and surgery of the nasal sinuses) in CL patients has to be assessed in no other way than in patients without a cleft [13].

Associations of Rhinoplasty with chemical compounds

• We studied 49 patients undergoing rhinoplasty in a randomized, double-blind fashion to evaluate the effects of perioperative and postoperative steroid use [14].
• The addition of a single preblock dose of intravenous ketamine to intravenous midazolam sedation for rhinoplasty does not improve intraoperative conditions for the surgeon in terms of patient behavior.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[15]
• Supramid tip implants in rhinoplasty. Review of 98 cases [16].
• One-hundred rhinoplasties were completed using a single tungsten-carbide steel rasp without evidence of dulling or loss of cutting effectiveness [17].
• SETTING: Subjects for the clinical section of the study were volunteers undergoing primary rhinoplasty surgery at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago. PATIENTS: Lymphoscintigraphy was performed on nine patients who underwent rhinoplasty surgery [18].

Gene context of Rhinoplasty

• The classic Indian rhinoplasty, with a midline forehead flap, was performed on 4 young adult patients with "cut noses". The rather large flaps survived in all cases, without a delay procedure, and the results were surprisingly good [19].
• Precision rhinoplasty. Part II: Prediction [20].
• Importance of the depressor septi nasi muscle in rhinoplasty: anatomic study and clinical application [21].
• Even after she was shown the head CT scans that revealed the presence of nasal implants, she denied that she had received rhinoplasty before CBT [22].
• Lateral crus sculpturing in open rhinoplasty: the Delicate Alar Clamp [23].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Rhinoplasty

• Rhinoplasty: a simplified, three-stitch, open tip suture technique. Part II: secondary rhinoplasty [24].
• This is the first objective, double-blind study that shows an increase in postoperative edema after rhinoplasty with a single preoperative dose of dexamethasone [25].
• The authors conclude that these patients would benefit from routine use of premedications and that a lidocaine/adrenaline combination is a safe adjunct to general anesthesia in young rhinoplasty patients [26].
