Correction of the deviated nose poses a challenge in even the most experienced hands. Frequently, the surgeon is faced with both a functional (airway obstruction) and an aesthetic problem that must be addressed conjointly. Accurate preoperative analysis and intraoperative diagnosis are integral to good outcomes. Caudal septal deviation is frequently present in patients presenting for rhinoplasty. The authors' current graduated technique for simplifying the management of the caudally deviated septum both aesthetically and functionally is described. If there is a persistent caudal septal deviation that has not been addressed by standard maneuvers, the caudal portion of the anterior septum is resected at the osseocartilaginous junction with the anterior nasal spine and maxillary crest and then sutured back to the periosteum of the anterior nasal spine with 5-0 polydioxanone. We have found this to be a safe and effective way of addressing the caudally deviated septum in the majority of cases.

: Orthognathic surgery is used to restore a correct anatomical and functional relationship between the jaws, with postoperative nasal septal deviation (NSD) being a common complication of Le Fort I osteotomy (LF-IO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of NSD after LF-IO and to identify possible risk factors. : Pre- and postoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 2018 to 2023 of 102 patients after LF-IO were analyzed.

Objective: Repositioning and fixation of the posterior septal angle (PSA) relative to the anterior nasal spine (ANS) is a well-known maneuver performed during rhinoplasty. Suture techniques through the periosteum along with transosseous drilling through the spine are the two most common fixation methods. We report on how nasal airway patency varies as a function of technique and patient demographic factors.

Background: Nose deviation deformities pose a complex cosmetic and functional problem. The most common surgical intervention to manage such deformities is septorhinoplasty, typically performed by a plastic surgeon or a rhinologist. This study investigated the effect of a combined operation by a plastic surgeon and rhinologist, comparing them with those operations performed singlehandedly by a plastic surgeon.

Article Synopsis
- * Echocardiography confirmed a large PDA, leading to significant overload in the left side of the heart, while X-rays showed serious lung issues in one side, without signs in the other.
- * The dog was diagnosed with unilateral pulmonary edema due to the PDA, which was treated successfully through medication and a procedure to close the duct with a specialized device, marking a unique case in veterinary reports.
