Abstract
BACKGROUND Nasal septal mucosal defects following rhinoplasty in Asian patients are uncommon complications. However, the reconstruction of such defects presents a challenging task in plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to present comprehensive surgical strategies for the reconstruction of nasal septal mucosal defect after rhinoplasty. METHODS Thirteen cases presenting with nasal septal mucosal defects between January 2016 and October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The size, location, and severity of the defect as well as the extent of cartilage exposure were taken into consideration during evaluation, and surgical approaches were employed for repair accordingly. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using a questionnaire with visual analog scale (VAS) and nasal obstruction symptom evaluation scale (NOSE). RESULTS The average postoperative follow-up period in this study group was 10.15 months. Reconstruction of nasal septal mucosal defects resulted in successful treatment for all patients. There was no evidence of flap failure or nasal valve stenosis. All patients were satisfied with the reconstruction outcome. CONCLUSIONS The successful application of surgical techniques for nasal septal mucosal defects after rhinoplasty requires comprehensive consideration. The utilization of the retrograde-flow superior labial artery mucosal flap appears to be a secure, efficient, and effective technique for nasal septal mucosal defect reconstruction in rhinoplasty, particularly in cases with cartilage exposure.

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol 2024; 281:1843-1847. [PMID: 38085306 PMCID: PMC10942910 DOI: 10.1007/s00405-023-08377-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Endoscopic nasal and sinus surgery is a surgical procedure frequently performed by otolaryngologists. Postoperative bleeding is detrimental to both healthcare providers and patients. We investigated the epidemiology of postoperative bleeding during endoscopic nasal and sinus surgery and explored possible bleeding triggers. METHODS We evaluated the patients who underwent endoscopic nasal and sinus surgery. Data regarding the age, sex, presence of hypertension, and abnormal coagulability, including oral anticoagulants, diagnoses, operative procedures, intraoperative use of drills and blood loss, and postoperative antimicrobial administration of eligible patients, were extracted from medical records and retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS One hundred and eighty-six patients underwent endoscopic nasal or sinus surgery during the study period, and postoperative bleeding occurred in 9 patients (4.8%). Posterior nasal neurotomy (PNN) was the procedure most likely to cause postoperative bleeding (4 surgeries, 13.3%). Postoperative antimicrobial administration significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative bleeding (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Postoperative bleeding requiring intervention occurs in 4.8% of cases, and PNN is associated with a high risk of postoperative bleeding. Wound infection is a potential cause of postoperative bleeding, and antimicrobial administration should be considered in addition to local treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The histological findings of wound healing depending on different nasal packing materials and replacement periods were lacking. METHODS Mucosal defects were created in the nasal septum of rabbits and covered with Spongel®, Algoderm®, or Nasopore®, which were cleaned on Day 14. To investigate the effect of replacement durations, Spongel® was removed on Days 3 and 7. All nasal septal specimens were collected on Day 28. Samples without packing material were prepared as controls. Depending on residual packing materials in the regenerated tissue, specimens were classified into the remnant and non-remnant groups, and morphology was compared using epithelium grade score and subepithelial thickness. RESULTS The epithelium grade score in the Spongel-14d group was lower than that in the other groups (p < 0.05). Subepithelial thickness was higher in the Algoderm-14d and Spongel-14d groups (p < 0.05). Epithelium grade scores were higher and subepithelial thicknesses were lower in the Spongel-3d and -7d groups than in the Spongel-14d group. Epithelium grade score was lower and subepithelial thickness was higher in the remnant group (n = 10) than in the non-remnant group (n = 15; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Differences in packing materials and placement durations affected wound healing of nasal mucosa. The selection of appropriate packing materials and replacement duration was considered essential for ideal wound healing. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 134:562-568, 2024.

Indian J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 2021; 73:504-509.

Abstract
Although the number of postoperative maxillary cyst (POMC) cases has declined recently, a few reports of refractory cases have also been reported. The indications for endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for POMC removal are broadening and attempts to prevent postoperative recurrence at the cyst opening site have been widely investigated. Here, we have advocated our original pedunculated mucoperiosteal flap (CLAP flap; covered lateral and posterior wall flap of the maxillary sinus), where the bony area exposed intraoperatively is covered, to prevent postoperative recurrence. We have also presented the method for creating the CLAP flap. We classified the POMC as being medial, lateral, or anterior superior type and performed ESS. We introduced the CLAP flap after 2015 for the lateral type and some of the medial types of POMCs. We examined the cyst opening rate using computed tomography, age, sex, cyst position, and a follow-up period in four patients (five sides) who did not undergo flap surgery, but who were managed in our hospital in 2015, and in eight patients (nine sides) who underwent the CLAP flap technique in our hospital. In the group with the CLAP flap, the cyst opening rate was significantly higher (P < 0.05). The CLAP flap was effective for preventing postoperative bony regrowth. It may be one of the options for covering the exposed bone surface as widely as possible.
