Intraoperative Fluoroscopy Reduces Complication and Reoperation Rate in Facial Fractures.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate surgical outcomes of facial fractures after the introduction of intraoperative radiology. An historic cohort of patients without intraoperative fluoroscopy (IOF) was compared with a prospective cohort of patients with IOF. Main outcomes were postoperative complications and reoperation rate.

A Five-Year Retrospective Cohort Study Analyzing Factors Influencing Complications after Nasal Trauma.

The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of patients with nasal trauma during a long period of time and determine factors predisposing to complications after nasal trauma treatment. A retrospective cohort study was conducted that included all patients who were attended for a nasal trauma between January and December 2010. In 2015, the charts were retrospectively reviewed and the patients were prospectively followed up looking for outcomes after treatment of nasal trauma.

A new approach to nasoseptal fractures: Submucosal endoscopically assisted septoplasty and closed nasal reduction.

Background: Nasal bone fracture is the most common among facial bone fractures. The prevalence of concomitant septal and nasal bone fractures fluctuates between 34% and 96.2%.

The accuracy of different methods for diagnosing septal deviation in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty: A prospective study.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of different diagnostic tests in predicting nasal septum deformities during preoperative planning for septorhinoplasty.

Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent septorhinoplasty between June 2011 and August 2012 were included (n = 30) and underwent a protocol of diagnostic tests, including nasal speculoscopy, craniofacial computed tomography (CT), three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the nasal septum by CT and nasal endoscopy. A modified Guyuron classification of septal deformities was used for classifying the septal deviations.
