Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty encompasses various techniques that share the common goal of achieving a straight and smooth dorsum without the need for middle-third reconstruction using flaps or grafts. The Spare…
Microvascular free tissue transfer in head and neck surgery has evolved through technological advancements, focusing on enhancing surgical outcomes and reducing complications. The strategic process involves preoperative planning for perforator…
This article aims to provide an update on techniques related to head and neck reconstruction using microvascular free tissue transfer, focusing on strategies for donor vessel selection in the vessel…
Structural preservation rhinoplasty (SPR) uses structural methods and dorsal preservation. SPR approaches include (1) dorsal preservation techniques coupled with structural approaches to the lower third/nasal tip complex; (2) use of…
Microvascular free flap surgery has become the gold standard for head and neck reconstruction. There is significant variability in the technical aspects of this type of surgery, but commonalities can…
The crooked nose deformity (CND) has a multifactorial origin. Trauma, previous surgery, septal deviation, and maxillary and nasal bone hypertrophy contribute to asymmetry. The crooked nose has been deemed one…
The reduction of the nasal hump can be based on the partial resection of the cartilages and bones or on the preservation of these structures. The nasal dorsum preservation techniques,…
Tip suspensory mechanisms have been studied in the past, with theories proposed by Pitanguy, Tardy, Saban, Palhazy, and others, to explain the supporting structures maintaining the nasal tip position. This…
Dorsal preservation (DP) rhinoplasty is a surgical technique designed to modify the nasal dorsum without disrupting the keystone area, offering a natural and long-lasting outcome. Unlike traditional methods that require…
In dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, resection of the septum is required to remove a hump. Modifications to the original immediate subdorsal strip excision of Goodale and Lothrop include the following sub-dorsal…
