Surgical Anatomy and Functional Assessment of the Nose: Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, and Turbinate Surgery
Thank you for your feedback!
Safe nasal surgery begins long before the first incision. This lecture connects surgical anatomy with the decisions made during rhinoplasty, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate procedures—from evaluating tissue perfusion and previous fillers to recognizing patients who should not yet undergo surgery.
The speaker examines vascular danger zones, subtle postoperative ischemia and bleeding, mucociliary clearance, internal and external nasal valve dysfunction, and the role of CT and endoscopy in preoperative assessment. Real clinical cases show why a straight septum does not always mean normal breathing and how an apparently routine postoperative course may hide a serious complication.
The technical section covers safe mucoperichondrial dissection, septal support and fixation, preservation of useful cartilage, management of the inferior turbinates, and prevention of synechiae and empty nose syndrome. It is a practical bridge between ENT anatomy, functional rhinoplasty, and the small operative choices that determine long-term results.
