Rapid Production Nasal Osteotomy Simulators With Multi-Modality Manufacturing: 3D Printing, Casting, and Molding.

Objective: To expand and improve upon previously described nasal osteotomy models with the goals of decreasing cost and production time while ensuring model fidelity. To assess change in participant confidence in their understanding of and ability to perform nasal osteotomies following completion of the simulation course.

Study Design: Prospective study.

Outcome of Endoscopic Repair of Nasal Septal Perforation.

Introduction: The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap has been demonstrated to be a reliable option for endoscopic repair of symptomatic nasal septal perforations. The purpose of this study is to study the outcome of this technique.

Methods: A retrospective case series of all consecutive patients who underwent repair of nasal septal perforation utilizing the AEA flap among 2 institutions from August 2020 to July of 2022 was conducted.

Using the sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22) to study outcome of treatment of nasal obstruction.

Objective: To validate the sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22) as an outcome measure for nasal obstruction, and to determine if it correlates with the nasal obstruction and septoplasty effectiveness (NOSE) scale.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: All patients presenting to our otolaryngology clinic for nasal obstruction secondary to nasal septal deviation and/or inferior turbinate hypertrophy between August 2020 and June 2022 were asked to fill both the SNOT-22 and the NOSE questionnaires.

Optimal Costal Cartilage Graft Selection According to Cartilage Shape: Anatomical Considerations for Rhinoplasty.

Costal cartilage grafting is a commonly used reconstruction procedure, particularly in rhinoplasty. Although costal cartilage is broadly used in reconstructive surgery, there are differing opinions regarding which costal cartilage levels provide the most ideal grafts. Grafts are typically designed to match the shape of the recipient site.

Glial choristoma of the temporal bone in a 7-month-old infant.

Importance: Heterotopic glial tissue is a rare, benign congenital anomaly that can present as a fibrous mass with or without overt signs of neural tissue origin, such as overlying alopecia, pigmentation, or a "hair collar" sign. These lesions are typically found in the midline area, though they have been found laterally involving the mastoid and middle ear regions. As demonstrated by this case report, a lateral scalp lesion may represent glial tissue even if fine-needle aspiration does not demonstrate neural findings.
