Rhinoplasty is a common and effective plastic surgery to improve the aesthetics of the nose and, in some cases, respiratory function. This surgery remodels nasal structures, not only visibly, but also affecting the nasal microbiota, a community of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to understand how rhinoplasty influences the nasal microbiota, focusing on the prevalence of pathogenic bacteria, as well as the clinical implications of these changes. To investigate these changes,...
Cephalometric measurements are widely used and essential when planning rhinoplasty and other surgical and non-surgical facial interventions. They provide measurements and simulations, which are extremely useful both for more iterative communication with the patient, as well as for more accurate planning of surgical techniques and maneuvers to be used during surgery. Despite its importance in facial aesthetic evaluation, the different forms of implementation often generate misunderstanding by...
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an otolaryngological urgency yet to be fully understood, which can be treated with intratympanic steroid injections (ITSI), a treatment that, yet does not have a strict protocol. The objective of this study was to assess de efficacy of ITSI in patients afflicted with SSNHL treated in Hospital IPO. For that, thirty-four patients who underwent ITSI had their charts and audiometric exams reviewed to assess treatment efficacy both in audiological and...
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a nasal inflammatory disease. It manifests itself with nasal obstruction/blockage, rhinorrhea, itching and sneezing in response to contact with allergens. Its diagnosis is clinical and confirmed with allergy tests. Its treatment may involve antihistamines, topical corticosteroids, as well as immunotherapy, which is considered the only treatment capable of altering the clinical history of the disease. To evaluate the use of probiotics to control allergic rhinitis...
The Nasal Splint in rhinoseptoplasty aims to support and anatomically reconstruct the nasal cavity, in addition to preventing adhesions. Although it is a medical device specially designed to be used in supporting the nasal septal cartilage to avoid the formation of edemas and hematomas, its postoperative symptoms have been poorly assessed in the literature. The objective of this study was to evaluate postoperative nasal symptoms in patients who underwent rhinoseptoplasty with the use of a...
Rhinoseptoplasty is among the most performed aesthetic/functional procedures in the world. Among those who seek surgery are those whose aesthetic defect, real or imagined, is interpreted by themselves in a disproportionate way, leading to suffering and/or significant impairment of psychosocial functioning and quality of life. These are diagnosed with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). These are patients who commonly have high expectations regarding the surgical outcome and who are often not...
The use of 3D technology has become important in the practice of surgeons, due to the limitations of 2D photographs. This is a prospective, analytical, and comparative study, which aims to analyze in a comparative way the three-dimensional reconstruction of two different systems, through computed tomography of the face and the respective stereophotogrammetry acquired from the same face. It was possible to reconstruct a total of 25 meshes from participants who underwent facial tomography and...
