Abstract:
Background: Lateral Osteotomies are used in rhinoplasty to narrow the nasal bones, close the open roof deformity
RI PT
after hump removal, and achieve symmetry of an asymmetrical framework. But this procedure causes periorbital ooedema &ecchymosis. Different techniques have been described for lateral osteotomy.
Objective: To compare the post-operative ecchymosis and oedema after buccal sulcus lateral osteotomy versus intra nasal lateral osteotomy.
SC
Methods and Materials: In a prospective experimental study, buccal sulcus approach was performed on the right side and an intranasal approach performed on the left side of patients randomly. Then blind analysis of
M AN U
postoperative photographs was performed to determine the incidence of oedema and ecchymosis on each side. Results: fifty patients were enrolled in the study after exclusion of unfit patients. On the right side (buccal approach osteotomies), a significantly lower incidence of upper and lower eyelid oedema and upper eyelid th
ecchymosis was seen on both the 2nd day and after 7 day (P0.05) in
RI PT
intranasal group compare to buccal group. Based on our regression model using buccal approach decreased oedema and ecchymosis score significantly (p=0.002, p =0 .001, respectively).These data showed the significant benefit of buccal procedure in decreasing oedema and ecchymosis score compare to intranasal group. We did not see any postoperative bleeding in our in the site of osteotomies. There was a small amount of bloody oral
SC
secretions during first 6h postoperatively which was not annoying for patients. We did not see any infection or
M AN U
temporary numbness of face in our patients.
Discussion:
Lateral osteotomies are used in rhinoplasty to narrow the nasal bones and close the open roof deformity after
TE D
hump removal. Different techniques for doing a lateral osteotomy are available like internal or external lateral osteotomy .It has been discussed and approved that external lateral osteotomy causes less periorbital oedema and ecchymosis because the bone stump is more stable (Hashemi et al., 2005, Sinha et al., 2007)and damage to the intra nasal mucosa is much less(Rohrich et al., 1997) .Different methods have been introduced for reduction of
EP
post operative periorbital oedema and ecchymosis after rhinoplasty like cold compress, head elevation,
AC C
corticosteroid administration(Kara and Gökalan, 1999) or using thinner osteotomes (Becker et al., 2000).
Injection of lidocaine with epinephrine provides not only haemostasis but also some degree of hydrodissection, which may protect the intranasal mucosa and cause less post surgical oedema and ecchymosis(Becker, McLaughlin Jr et al., 2000) . Internal lateral osteotomy is preferred by many authors because it takes much less time and is easy to do in experienced hands. In this study for the first time we compared two different techniques for internal lateral osteotomy regarding oedema and ecchymosis. The upper buccal sulcus approach is a well-established method for surgical access to the middle third of the face in craniofacial and orthognathic surgery. The upper buccal sulcus approach for nasal surgery has been introduced by Kim, in which lateral nasal osteotomies of the
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
frontal processes of the maxilla is performed endoscopically (Kortbus, Ham et al., 2006). Helel et al observed a measurable decrease in the nasal airway after lateral osteotomy in all their patients (Helal, El-Tarabishi et al., 2010). At the beginning of internal lateral osteotomy, surgeon has to make an incision superolateraly to inferior
RI PT
turbinate for insertion of lateral osteotomy. This incision may induce a later scar near internal valve area. In the buccal sulcus approach for lateral osteotomy no intranasal incision is made, so we do not see any scar formation near valve area. Kim et al found it necessary to use intranasal incisions in conjunction with the buccal approach, thereby violating the nasal valve and introducing intranasal scar(Kim and Kim, 2001). We decided to avoid the
SC
violation of the internal nasal valve and the introduction of internal nasal scarring, by using only the upper buccal sulcus approach. Gola described success with this manoeuvre, via endonasal incisions(Gola et al., 1989). Thus,
M AN U
successful skeletal correction of the nose in selected cases can be achieved with minimal disruption of the tipsupra-tip structures and no endonasal incision can minimize the associated morbidity (haemorrhage, oedema, and ecchymosis) in the rhinoplasty patient (Kortbus, Ham et al., 2006, Fettman et al., 2009).In our study buccal approach osteotomies induced a significant decrease in the incidence of upper and lower eyelid oedema and upper eyelid ecchymosis on both 2nd and 7th day post-operation follow-up that was statically significant . Buccal
TE D
osteotomy takes only approximately 2 minutes longer than intranasal osteotomy. The site of incision and osteotomy are two determining factors for the outcomes. It seems that buccal sulcus technique provides greater preservation of the periosteal support of the bony segments, supraperiosteal arteries, veins, and lymphatics than
EP
intranasal osteotomy, which may subsequently lead to decrease intra and post operative bleeding and less post op oedema and ecchymosis (Kortbus, Ham et al., 2006).In buccal sulcus technique there is a small drainage pathway
AC C
for blood, so accumulation and infiltration of blood inside the extracellular space is reduced. On the other hand, this technique causes preservation and improvement of the nasal airway by avoiding of any incision in lateral nasal wall adjacent to internal valve area.
The procedure is ideal for managing the bony nasal segment that needs lateralization, particularly in revision rhinoplasties or after trauma (Kortbus, Ham et al., 2006).
Conclusion:
ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT
The buccal sulcus approach is an effective, safe, and reliable method for lateral osteotomy in rhinoplasty with an emphasis on decreasing post osteotomy oedema and ecchymosis .It is a less traumatic technique especially to the
