Evaluation of Rhinoplasty Information from ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude for Readability and Accuracy.

Objective: Assessment of the readability, accuracy, quality, and completeness of ChatGPT (Open AI, San Francisco, CA), Gemini (Google, Mountain View, CA), and Claude (Anthropic, San Francisco, CA) responses to common questions about rhinoplasty.

Methods: Ten questions commonly encountered in the senior author's (SPM) rhinoplasty practice were presented to ChatGPT-4, Gemini and Claude. Seven Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons with experience in rhinoplasty were asked to evaluate these responses for accuracy, quality, completeness, relevance, and use of medical jargon on a Likert scale.

Postoperative Pain and Perioperative Antibiotic Management in Functional Rhinoplasty.

Post-rhinoplasty pain control should use a multimodal regimen. Evidence suggests decreasing routine prescriptions of narcotics is reasonable for most individuals, and acetaminophen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug combinations may be equivalent to as-needed opioids for postsurgical pain management. Preoperative pain counseling is important to set post-rhinoplasty pain expectations and reduce opioid use.

Evaluation and Management of Lateral Wall Insufficiency.

Successful treatment of nasal airway obstruction depends on accurate diagnosis of the underlying etiology. Lateral wall insufficiency (LWI) is a common cause of obstructed nasal breathing and should be recognized and treated accordingly by the rhinoplasty surgeon. LWI refers to dynamic collapse of the lateral nasal sidewalls at the internal (zone 1) and external (zone 2) nasal valves.

Surgical complications in combined rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery.

Complications in combined surgery are equivalent to ESS but are higher than rhinoplasty alone. The most common complications are pneumonia, stroke, and epistaxis. Rhinoplasty surgeries with graft use have a higher risk of complications.

Temporoparietal Fascia Graft and Polydioxanone Plate Repair of Nasal Septal Perforation.

Background: Surgical repair of septal perforations has been historically cumbersome. Recently described techniques utilizing interposition grafting with polydioxanone (PDS) plates wrapped in a temporoparietal fascia (TPF) graft have reported successful closure in 90% to 100% of cases. Our objective is to expand the investigation into the use of interposition grafts of polydioxanone plates combined with a temporoparietal fascia graft for nasal septal perforation repair.

Quantifying the Subjective Experience of Nasal Obstruction: A Review.

Nasal obstruction is an exceedingly common problem and challenging to treat due to its multifactorial etiology. Therefore, measuring treatment outcomes of nasal obstruction can be equally complex yet vital to appropriately assessing symptom improvement or resolution. Both physiologic and anatomic assessments of the nasal airway exist in addition to validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which objectify subjective nasal obstruction and sinonasal symptoms.

Tissue Engineering the Pinna: Comparison and Characterization of Human Decellularized Auricular Biological Scaffolds.

Decellularization is one of the promising techniques in tissue engineering used to create a biological scaffold for subsequent repopulation with the patient's own cells. This study aims to compare two different decellularization protocols to optimize the process of auricle decellularization by assessing and characterizing the decellularization effects on human auricular cartilage. Herein, 12 pairs (8 females, 4 males) of freshly frozen adult human cadaveric auricles were de-epithelialized and defatted leaving only the cartilaginous framework.
