폐쇄형 접근법 Closed Approach

[BACKGROUND] Several modalities have been developed to achieve precise tip contouring and address postsurgical edema. This comparative study aimed to analyze the short- and long-term effects of the Pitanguy ligament management on nasal tip …

[INTRODUCTION] Ectrodactyly (lobster claw syndrome) and bilateral cleft lip and palate are distinct congenital anomalies, yet their co-occurrence in a single individual is exceedingly rare, often indicating an underlying syndromic associati…

[BACKGROUND] Multiple approaches exist for operative fixation of metacarpal fractures; with common treatments including lag screw fixation or open-reduction internal fixation (ORIF) with plates and screws. Recently, the adaptation of intram…

[BACKGROUND] Closed rhinoplasty had initially been relegated to a reductive procedure that did not provide access to place structural sutures for tip support. Despite the influence of closed rhinoplasty advocates Sheen, Constantian, Guerrer…

[OBJECTIVE] The rotation and projection of the nasal tip are fundamental factors in determining surgical success. The tongue-in-groove (TIG) technique is performed by securing the medial crura to the septum to control nasal tip rotation and…

[INTRODUCTION] The septocolumellar suture technique has shown consistent efficacy in achieving precise nasal tip aesthetics for over 20 years. This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of primary endonasal rhinoplasty. [METHODS] R…

[BACKGROUND] Closed rhinoplasty techniques are gaining popularity once again as more and more patients demand them. The use of piezoelectric devices (PEDs) is also another popular practice in rhinoplasty surgeries recently to reduce postope…

[BACKGROUND] In rhinoplasty, the open approach carries potential risks such as hypertrophic scarring, while synthetic implants carry potential risks like infection. Therefore, we propose a new technique that utilizes exclusively auricular c…

Structural endonasal rhinoplasty, unlike traditional reductive rhinoplasty, achieves aesthetic and functional objectives while maintaining key structural anatomical elements and minimizing complications.Previously, rhinoplasty was performed…

Rhinoplasty continues to evolve, with small technical refinements yielding significant aesthetic and functional gains. This article reflects on nearly two decades of surgical experience, focusing on the balance between structural support an…

[BACKGROUND] Powered tools (PTs) are emerging as effective instruments in preservation rhinoplasty, offering enhanced precision for reshaping both bone and cartilage. This study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes and share key technical asp…

[INTRODUCTION AND AIM] Some recommendations have been reported about nasal hump recurrence and its possible reasons or mechanisms after dorsal preservation rhinoplasty. In this study, we aimed to measure how additional maneuvers affect reco…

The placement of a columellar cartilage strut graft (CSG) between the medial cartilage crura is an important step for providing tip projection and support in rhinoplasty. While the CSG is placed by direct observation in open rhinoplasty, it…

[PURPOSE] This study aims to highlight the significance of performing simulations, nasal hump reduction, and rasping in open-technique rhinoplasty for the nasal dorsum. The research utilizes data science methodologies for a thorough examina…

Septo-/rhinoplasty, combining septoplasty and rhinoplasty, addresses both functional nasal impairments and aesthetic concerns. While immediate outcomes are well-studied, long-term impacts on quality of life (QoL) are less explored. Evaluati…

[BACKGROUND] Despite advancements in techniques, the choice between open and closed rhinoplasty remains contentious. This decision is influenced by patient-specific factors, deformity complexity, and surgeon expertise, with outcomes often t…

Introduction Rhinoplasty is a widely used procedure aimed at correcting nasal deformities to improve both function and aesthetics. The open and closed techniques are two main surgical approaches, each with specific indications and advantage…

 The conventional methods of dorsal hump reduction planning and execution are prone to errors. The amount to be lowered is usually subject to surgeon's judgment and errors are possible due to differential skin thickness of envelope.  We pr…

[BACKGROUND] Closed preservation rhinoplasty continues to grow in popularity. Nevertheless, many surgeons remain wary of performing closed preservation rhinoplasty in certain patient populations. Mestizo noses have a thick soft-tissue envel…

[BACKGROUND] Preservation rhinoplasty, particularly dorsal preservation, has gained prominence with the advent of piezoelectric instruments, which minimize trauma and enhance precision in bone reshaping. This approach presents unique challe…
