Nasal Polyposis and Fitness to Fly.

Introduction: When a pilot is referred for nasal polyposis, his/her flight fitness may be questionable. The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a case series of barotrauma in a pilot population exhibiting nasal polyposis and to discuss the decisions about their flight fitness.

Methods: There were 17 pilots with nasal polyposis who were referred to the Head and Neck Department of the National Pilot Expertise Center.

'Mini DC-F' in rhinoplasty: Diced cartilage and fascia grafts with the temporalis fascia dissected along its width - A technical note.

In rhinoplasty, diced cartilage with fascia (DC-F) is a commonly used technique to enhance dorsal projection and achieve a smooth dorsum. We have developed a modified technique by dissecting the thickness of the fascia along its width, called "Mini DC-F". This method allows for effective camouflaging of dorsal irregularities and provides a slight increase in dorsal height.
