The aim of this study was to find out the common complications after Septoplasty and Septorhinoplasty in a series of 127 Saudi patients undergoing Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty in Northern Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This study included a series of 127 patients presented with nasal blockage and subsequently undergone Septoplasty and /or Septorhinoplasty. Results: Complications were determined in 69/127 (54.3%) of the patients. The most common complication after three months of septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty was the change in the shape of the nose, which represented 57 (82.6%) out of 69 patients with complications. Bleeding was experienced in 8 patients of whom 5/8 (62.5%) were males and 3/8 (37.5%) were females. Conclusion: Nose deformities are the most common complication associated with Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty in Northern Saudi Arabia. The risks for Septoplasty or Septorhinoplasty complications can be condensed with accumulative experience.展开更多

The grafts available for augmentation are numerous and varied. Choice of the graft depends upon the type of augmentation required, patient characteristics and, most importantly, the surgeon. In this article, we would like to present our experience with various augmentation grafts. In our experience, autografts are best grafts for augmentation. But in cases of revision surgeries or deficiency of autografts, allografts can be used. Our choice of allograft is Poly Diaxone Sheath or PDS.展开更多

Methods: Through a prospective study, we selected seventy patients with deviated nose. Based on their deviation severity, they underwent open or closed septorhinoplasty. Patients were evaluated for deviation angles of nasal bony and cartilage components, nasal projection, nasolabial angle, nasofacial angle, and nasofrontal angle;for which three standard photos were captured pre and postoperatively. Finally the outcomes were analyzed according to their surgical methods. Results: Closed septorhinoplasty could grant a mean 11 degrees correction to nasal bony component and a mean 8.6 degrees correction to cartilage component. That’s while open septorhinoplasty could bring a mean 19.5 degrees deviation correction to the bony component and a mean 12.5 degrees deviation correction to the cartilage component. Cosmetic angles were not improved significantly after the surgery, maybe because of complicated deformities our series of patients had. Conclusion: Open septorhinoplasty resulted in better cosmetic and functional outcomes than the closed method.展开更多
