Open Technique Primary or Revision Nose Tip Plasty in Istanbul Open Technique Nose Tip Correction Surgery - Open Technique Primary or Revision Nose Tip Plasty in Istanbul Asymmetry may be seen in the nasal tip due to previous nose surgeries, traumas or genetic reasons. As shown in the photo above, the patient had undergone trauma and a nose surgery, and an open technique tip plasty operation was performed for the nasal tip asymmetry. Technical details: The patient in the photograph above was performed in the following order: - Open technique columellar incision - Limited alar cephalic resection - Alar dom equalizer sutures - Columellar strut graft application - Hat graft application - Left marginal rim grafti application - Insertion of subcutaneous soft tissue in the right alar dome with external basket suture In the above photo, it is seen that the right nostril is pre-round, the left nostril is an upright ovoid and both nostrils are close to each other postoperati

A Rare Complication of Frontal Sinusitis: Pott's Puffy Tumor

Pott's Puffy Tumor (Frontal Osteomyelitis) Complication of Frontal Sinusitis: Pott's Puffy Tumor Definition of Pott's Puffy Tumor Pott's puffy tumor is a rare clinical entity characterized by subperiostal abscess associated with osteomyelitis. It is often seen as a complication of frontal sinusitis or trauma. Complications of paranasal sinus disease are often encountered in pediatric otolaryngology practice and often respond to conservative treatment, including treatment against appropriate antimicrobial agents.Sometimes, complications can occur despite aggressive antibiotictherapy. An unusual but important complication of frontal sinusitis is Pott’s puffy tumor. Pott’s puffy tumor is not a real neoplasm, but it can occur as anterior and posterior extension of the purulent material in the frontal bone as a result of sinusitis spreading to the frontal bone. Pott's puffy tumor is a rare condition in children and adolescents, rarely seen in adults. In the lit

Treatment of Nasal Septum Deviation

Septoplasty Operation  Treatment of deviated nasal septum  In people with nasal obstruction due to deviation of the nasal septum, there is no correction of curved cartilage in the nose by medical treatment. Drugs such as nasal sprays for nasal flesh growth are not effective in correcting cartilage in the nasal septum. For the treatment of nasal septum deviation, the procedure that involves removing the curved cartilage areas and making the septum flat in the midline is called " septoplasty operation ". These operations, which are usually performed through the nostrils, can be performed endoscopically or by open technique. In the photo above, deviation towards the left, close to the caudal part of the nasal septum, is seen. Especially in nasal septum deviations close to the nasal valve area, nasal obstruction may be more. Septoplasty is performed for the treatment of septum deviations due to the protection of the septum deviation from the negative health effects of

Tomography Is Not Always Required For The Diagnosis of Nasal Septum Deviation!

Diagnosis of Deviated Nasal Septum Tomography is Not Always Required for the Diagnosis of Nasal Septum Deviation! CT scans use X-rays to generate images of computerized two- and three-dimensional bone, cartilage, and other nasal structures. This allows doctors to examine the nose from various angles. Normally, a simple ENT examination and anterior rhinoscopic examination is sufficient for deviation of the nasal septum. In patients with private insurance, if the policy conditions cover the deviation of the septum, it is generally desirable to have a CT scan prior to surgery to document the disease. In chronic sinusitis or endoscopic examination, CT scan is appropriate in patients with treatment-resistant chronic sinusitis in the presence of severe septum deviation, nasal polyps or masses, which prevents complete evaluation of the nasal cavity. Tomography is preferred in patients with facial injuries and traumatic nasal fractures. It is recommended that patients with complaints

Causes Nasal Septum Deviation

Genetic and Traumatic Factors Can Cause The Deviated Nasal Septum Nasal Septum Deviation - Septoplasty Operation It is mentioned that there is a “nasal septum deviation anlam which means that if the wall between the nasal passages (nasal septum) is bent to one side, it is a distorted or bent septum. Many people have more or less this curvature in the nasal septum. When the deviation of the nasal septum is advanced, it may block one side of your nose and reduce airflow and may have difficulty breathing. Nasal obstruction may result from the curved nasal septum, swelling of the “nasal flesh indeki in the nasal cavity or both. The treatment of nasal congestion may include medications for reducing swelling or nasal expanders that help open the nasal passages. For the treatment of nasal cartilage curvature, i deviation surgery olan is required. Deviation of the nasal septum can occur mainly for two reasons: • A condition that arises at birth. In some cases, deviation of the septu

Symptoms of Nasal Septum Deviation

Septal Deviation Symptoms Symptoms of Nasal Septum Deviation When the thin wall (nasal septum) between the two air passages in the nose is deviated or bent to one side (deviation of the nasal septum), it causes difficulty in air passage through an air passage (increased airway resistance). When the deviation of the nasal septum is severe, it may block one side of our nose and reduce air flow, causing difficulty breathing. The most common symptom of nasal septum deviation is "nasal obstruction." In addition, many different signs and symptoms may occur. About 80 percent of people in the United States (USA) have more or less septum deviation. Generally, severe septum deviations or septum deviations causing respiratory distress (a small amount of septum deviation in the nasal valve area may cause obstruction of the nose) require treatment. The most common symptoms of nasal septum deviation The most common symptoms of deviation of the nasal septum are nasal obstructio

What is Sinusitis? Classification of Sinusitis / Photo source:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blausen_0800_Sinusitis.png/ Paranasal sinuses are cavities in the skull, filled with air associated with the nasal cavities, and covered with mucous membranes covered with bone walls. For various reasons, inflammation of the cavities may begin to infiltrate the mucous membranes of these cavities. This condition is called "Sinusitis" or "Rhinosinusitis". Sinusitis usually occurs due to infections caused by viruses and resolves spontaneously within 10 days. Classification of Sinusitis Sinusitis Disease, according to the duration of the disease and relapse recurrence sinusitis disease is classified as follows: - Acute sinusitis: Symptoms persist for up to 4 weeks - Recurrent acute sinusitis: 4 or more episodes of sinusitis in 1 year - Subacute sinusitis: Symptoms of sinusitis persist for 4-12 weeks. It can be defined as the transition period between acute

Balloon Sinuplasty is the process of opening the sinus discharge ports with the help of balloon catheters. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. There are sinus openings with the help of illuminated guide catheters.

In new balloon applications, instead of radiation-containing fluoroscopy instrument, transsinus illumination technique is generally used. Once the light-enhanced guide catheters are inserted into the sinus, t
