Office-Based Procedures for Nasal Airway Obstruction

Treatment of common rhinologic problems with in-office surgical procedures has increased dramatically in response to patient preference, evolving insurance patterns, and changes in coding and reimbursement. Because this is an emerging practice, there is not a lot of evidence published about how to best perform these techniques. This article provides practical advice from experienced surgeons related to logistics and anesthetic techniques for conducting in-office surgical treatment of nasal airway obstruction; an overview of office set-up and necessary equipment; and specific procedural considerations. Attention also is paid to pharmacologic issues. Logistics and clinical considerations for common office-based procedures for obstructive pathology are reviewed.

Nasal Obstruction Considerations in Cosmetic Rhinoplasty

Cosmetic rhinoplasty is an increasingly popular procedure in the United States. There are critical aspects of preoperative planning and intraoperative execution that facilitate successful rhinoplasty. Thorough preoperative assessment of the structures comprising the internal and external nasal valves and identification of potential at-risk areas for static or dynamic compromise must be done before surgery. Thoughtful maneuvers and meticulous surgical technique must be used. Postoperative counseling ranges from simple reassurance to medical therapy to procedural efforts to alleviate a patient's concerns. It is important to establish rapport with the patient and dutifully address all cosmetic and functional concerns.
