The Evolution of Septorhinoplasty Advances in Techniques and Technologies

Abstract

Objective: Explore how modern surgical procedures and innovative technology affect the results of septorhinoplasty. The research establishes a comparison between classic surgical approaches and modern evolved techniques regarding patient contentment levels and operational safety and functional benefits.

Study Design: A retrospective study

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of ENT, Pak International Medical College Peshawar, from January 2019 to December 2024.

Methods: Medical study analyzed historical treatment records of 150 patients. The study divided its subjects according to surgical approach selection between traditional and advanced techniques. The analysis included an evaluation of aesthetic results along with functional improvement and complications together with revision rate data. The researchers used mean values and standard deviations together with p-values to establish whether outcomes differed substantially between study groups.

Results: The patient demographic had an average age of 28.4 years with a standard deviation of 6.7. The advanced techniques achieved superior aesthetic and functional results than traditional rhinoplasty methods (p < 0.05). The patients experienced reduced postoperative difficulties because nasal obstruction and asymmetry and revision surgeries occurred less frequently. The preservation of soft tissue along with minimal edema improvement was achieved by patients who received ultrasonic rhinoplasty. The precise execution of surgery became possible through computer-assisted planning because it decreased the need for intraoperative adjustments. The implementation of cartilage grafting methods strengthened nasal structures thus producing superior extended outcome results. The scores for patient satisfaction reached higher levels in patients who experienced technologically assisted procedures because of modern technological benefits.

Conclusion: Rhinoplasty evolution through technological progress together with surgical enhancement techniques now leads to increased positive outcomes for patients. The combination of ultrasonic rhinoplasty approaches with computer-assisted planning along with advanced grafting methods delivers enhanced procedural precision that results in reduced procedural risks and superior outcomes. Future studies need to optimize the innovative techniques of rhinoplasty to reach superior safety in addition to procedural effectiveness.
