Published: May 2023

Throughout the evolution of functional rhinoplasty, numerous techniques have been described and shown to be successful. Controversy exists regarding which techniques are most effective to address various deformities. The goal of this article is to review the available literature to examine the question, which surgical techniques within functional rhinoplasty are most successful in treating nasal airway obstruction. Based on the available data, it is not currently possible to draw conclusions about the superiority of a single graft or technique in functional rhinoplasty.

Emphasis on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols and opioid use reduction have led to a growing interest in alternative pain management strategies. This study describes and evaluates the ultrasound-guided suprazygomatic maxillary (SZM) nerve blocks for patients undergoing functional and cosmetic nasal surgery as an adjunct to postoperative pain management. A retrospective, multicenter analysis was conducted on patients who underwent functional nasal surgery and rhinoplasty and evaluated the impact of SZM blocks on intraoperative anesthetic and opioid use, postoperative pain scores recorded in the PACU, and PACU length.
