Background: Musculoskeletal pain is a common occupational health problem among surgeons that can affect work productivity and quality of life.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence and causes of back pain among rhinoplasty surgeons, evaluate their routine practice, and identify unique risk factors. A further goal was to measure functional disabilities with the Total Disability Index (TDI) questionnaire.
Background: Prominent ear deformity occurs in 5% of the general population and has been treated by otoplasty for many years to address the psychosocial challenges of having such a deformity. There is extensive literature but no consensus on the best method to address potential surgical complications, including suture extrusion.
Objectives: The aim of this article was to describe a surgical technique designed to reduce suture extrusion following otoplasty surgery by placing free soft tissue grafts between Mustardé sutures and postauricular skin.
