Nasal surgery is a specialty including the removal of nasal obstruction that cannot be achieved by medication and nasal reconstruction. Currently, it comprises four approaches, namely rhinoplasty, septoplasty, sinus surgery, and turbinoplasty, targeted at different sections of the nasal cavity in the order of their external to internal positions.
Empty nose syndrome. Altered nasal anatomy after bilateral subtotal inferior turbinectomy, the removal of most turbinate tissue. Empty nose syndrome (ENS) is a clinical syndrome, the hallmark symptom of which is a sensation of suffocation despite a clear airway. This syndrome is often referred to as a form of secondary atrophic rhinitis.
Septoplasty. Typical flexible splints that may be used in septoplasty. They are held in place in the nose with a stitch through the hole, and are typically removed seven to 10 days after surgery. Septoplasty (Latin: saeptum, "septum" + Ancient Greek: πλάσσειν, romanized: plassein, "to shape"), or alternatively submucous septal resection ...
Other names. Deviated nasal septum (DNS) An MRI image showing a congenitally deviated nasal septum, bowed to the left between the eye sockets. Specialty. Otorhinolaryngology. Nasal septum deviation is a physical disorder of the nose, involving a displacement of the nasal septum. Some displacement is common, affecting 80% of people, mostly ...
Nasal septal hematoma is a condition affecting the nasal septum. [1] It can be associated with trauma. [2] A septal hematoma is blood that collects in the space between the septal cartilage and the overlying perichondrium (a cross section of the cartilaginous portion of the nasal septum). A hematoma may deprive the septal cartilage of its blood ...
Caldwell-Luc surgery, Caldwell-Luc operation, also known as Caldwell-Luc antrostomy, and Radical antrostomy, is an operation to remove irreversibly damaged mucosa of the maxillary sinus. It is done when maxillary sinusitis is not cured by medication or other non-invasive technique. The approach is mainly from the anterior wall of the maxilla bone.
Turbinectomy. A turbinectomy or turbinoplasty (preserving the mucosal layer) is a surgical procedure, that removes tissue, and sometimes bone, of the turbinates in the nasal passage, particularly the inferior nasal concha. The procedure is usually performed to relieve nasal obstructions. [1] In most cases, turbinate hypertrophy is accompanied ...
The nasal cartilages are structures within the nose that provide form and support to the nasal cavity. [ 1 ] The nasal cartilages are made up of a flexible material called hyaline cartilage (packed collagen) in the distal portion of the nose. [ 2 ] There are five individual cartilages that make up the nasal cavity: septal nasal cartilage ...
