In the appropriately selected patient, septorhinoplasty can benefit a pediatric patient presenting with significant nasal trauma, abscess, or mass that will likely result in a progressive deformity in the growing nose or with negative functional or psychosocial effect. Clinical and experimental observations support a conservative approach to cartilage scoring and resection in pediatric patients in which septorhinoplasty is deemed necessary.

Nasal breathing: a neglected factor in metabolic regulation?

Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol

December 2024

Otorhinolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Santo António, Largo do Prof. Abel Salazar, 4099-001, Porto, Portugal.

Purpose: Nasal breathing (NB) is a fundamental physiological process, and emerging research indicates its potential role in modulating resting metabolism, impacting energy expenditure and metabolic efficiency. This study investigates the impact of NB on resting metabolic rate (RMR), offering novel insights into metabolic regulation.

Methods: A prospective study was conducted on patients undergoing nasal surgery, with measurements taken before and 3 months after surgery.

Department of Medical Education, Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine, Nova Southeastern University, United States of America. Electronic address:

Purpose: Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are common otolaryngological procedures, often combined as septorhinoplasty (SRP), offering aesthetic and functional benefits. These surgeries are believed to potentially risk postoperative infections due to natural bacterial flora in the nares. This study evaluates the effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotics in reducing post-surgical infection complications.

Utility of CT or X-ray in the management of adult nasal fracture.

Am J Otolaryngol

March 2024

University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Department of Otolaryngology, 11100 Euclid Ave, Cleveland, OH 44106, USA. Electronic address:

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the use of imaging in the management of nasal fracture in adults and determine if imaging is beneficial to clinical decision making when planning for surgery. A secondary objective of this study is to compare surgical rates for nasal fracture between pediatric and adult populations.

Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study of 357 patients seen at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center from January 2015 through January 2020 with a diagnosis of nasal fracture.

Corrective septal surgery for children with nasal obstruction has historically been avoided due to concern about the impact on the growing nose, with disruption of midfacial growth. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating complication and revision rates post-nasal septal surgery in the pediatric population. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that failure to treat nasal obstruction in children may itself result in facial deformity and/or developmental delay.

Background: Septoplasty is used to correct nasal obstruction from nasal septum deviation. However, the long-term efficacy of septoplasty is unclear, and no literature reviews have examined long-term outcomes of septoplasty with or without turbinate modification. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of septoplasty with or without turbinate modification in improving nasal obstruction.
