Brief Summary

Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is widely applied today and is characterized by edema in the postoperative period. In particular, edema can cause prolonged recovery and deterioration in the patient's social life. Various studies have been conducted using certain drugs or different surgical techniques to reduce edema and ecchymosis in rhinoplasty. In rhinoplasty, edema occurs after the absorption of interstitial fluid in the nose is disrupted as a result of trauma to the bone and soft tissue. Ecchymosis occurs when blood passes from damaged vessels due to surgery to the loose and thin soft tissue around the eye. Ecchymosis is often seen on the eyelids after open rhinoplasty. Ecchymosis usually moves in the direction of gravity and increases in the first two days after surgery. Systemic inflammatory response index and systemic immune inflammation index can be easily obtained with a simple hemogram test. These indexes have been suggested to be a useful parameter in many diseases associated with inflammation, but research is still ongoing. Inflammation values and the resulting response have an important effect on wound formation and healing. However, increased inflammation can also increase edema and ecchymosis in the postoperative period. In this study, the researchers aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative inflammation values and postoperative edema and ecchymosis in open rhinoplasties.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • postoperative edema and ecchymosis

    Each patient will be photographed with a digital camera on postoperative days 1, 2, and 7. Eyelid edema and periorbital soft tissue ecchymosis will be assessed using a separate grading scale (range 0-4). The assessment will be performed by an independent observer for each patient on the indicated days.

    Each patient will be evaluated on postoperative days 1, 2 and 7.

Interventions

If the patients' mean arterial pressure falls below 60 mmHg or 20% below the preoperative value, ephedrine will be administered.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

This prospective, randomized, controlled observational study will be conducted on patients undergoing open rhinoplasty with osteotomy. Rhinoplasty patients aged 18-45 years who will undergo general anesthesia and have an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of 1 and 2 will be included in the study. The sample size was calculated with a type 1 error value of 0.05, a power of 0.80 and r = 0.30 (low-level correlation) between the systemic inflammatory index and edema score, and 85 patients were considered sufficient for the study. Considering the losses that may occur during follow-up, it was planned to conduct the study with 94 patients with a 10% increase.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients who are planning to undergo rhinoplasty and are between the ages of 18-45 are willing to participate in the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Heart failure
  • Severe respiratory failure
  • Renal failure
  • Vascular diseases
  • Steroid use
  • Coagulation disorders.
