Histopathological Examination of Scar Tissue in Revision Septorhinoplasty
Project no. 31925 · Status: Kapanmış (Yayın bekleniyor) · 2024
Summary
<p>The nose is a central facial organ with functional and aesthetic properties. Septorhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to alter the shape, size, and function of the nose. Septorhinoplasty is performed using a variety of techniques, including incision, reshaping, and removal of nasal structures. Revision septorhinoplasty, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure performed to correct problems observed after a previous septorhinoplasty. This procedure aims to address nasal shape issues that arose after the initial septorhinoplasty. Revision septorhinoplasty is one of the most challenging procedures in nasal reshaping surgery because it requires addressing multiple factors combined with previous interventions on the nasal structures. Scar tissue, which varies from person to person, forms on the nose due to the interventions made during the previous procedure. In this study, we aimed to histopathologically examine the content of the scar tissue in the soft tissue routinely removed for nose reshaping during revision septorhinoplasty in 50 patients over the age of 18, 25 of whom were male and 25 were female, and to determine the amount of structures within the scar tissue and how this amount varies depending on age, gender, profession, smoking, number of previous septorhinoplasty surgeries, comorbidities, and regularly used medications.</p>
