Purpose Of Review: This article reviews the recent literature on functional rhinoplasty for the most important contributions in the field.
Recent Findings: Surgical techniques for improving the internal nasal valve include upper lateral cartilage fold-in flap, splay graft, alar batten graft, Z-plasty, and the alloplastic Monarch implant. The Nasal Obstruction Septoplasty Effectiveness (NOSE) score and the Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation score have been applied to objectify outcomes in functional rhinoplasty. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and rhinoplasty continue to be safely used in the same surgical sitting.
Summary: The last few years have seen improved perspective on what surgery can do, substantiating the inherent difficulties of establishing reproducible outcomes in form and function of the nose.

The Application of Concept Map Thinking Combined with Kolcaba's Comfort Nursing in the Perioperative Care of Patients Undergoing Nasal Deformity Correction.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

By addressing patients' physical, psychological, social, cultural, and environmental comfort needs holistically, Kolcaba's Comfort Theory raises the standard of care and increases patient satisfaction. This study explored the combined application of these nursing models during the perioperative period for patients undergoing nasal deformity correction surgery. 92 patients undergoing nasal deformity correction at the Seventh Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were randomly divided into two groups: the conventional group (46 patients), which received standard perioperative nursing care, and the experimental group (46 patients), which received concept map thinking nursing combined with Kolcaba's comfort nursing intervention during the perioperative period.

Successful rhinoplasty relies on a deep understanding of nasal anatomy and precise nasal tip control for lasting functional and aesthetic outcomes. Structural grafts, like septal extension grafts, are instrumental in maintaining tip position and projection with minimal long-term changes. This article details a systematic technique to harvest septal cartilage that maximizes graft material and allows for effective septal deviation correction.

Silent sinus syndrome is a rare condition that typically affects the maxillary sinus, with only a few reported cases of frontal sinus involvement. Blockage of the sinus ostium leads to persistent hypoventilation, creating negative pressure and eventual sinus collapse. This report describes a previously undocumented case of facial asymmetry due to frontal silent sinus syndrome, following multiple childhood nasal injuries.

A crooked nose is a challenge for a surgeon performing rhinoplasty. When performed correctly, rhinoseptoplasty aligns the nasal framework, restores nasal patency, and achieves facial symmetry. The key to this procedure is to dissect all the structures of the nasal framework, mobilize, reposition, and stabilize them.
