Description
Summary:Septoplasty and septorhinoplasty are key procedures in functional and aesthetic nasal surgery. Over the past decade, evidence on diagnostics, techniques, and outcomes has expanded significantly. - - To provide a structured summary of current evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses, focusing on diagnostics, surgical techniques, perioperative treatment, and patient-reported outcomes. - - Narrative review of 86 articles, reviews, and meta-analyses published within the past 10 years. - - Studies were screened for relevance to functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty. Extracted data covered diagnostic methods, surgical techniques, medications, PROMs, and functional outcomes. - - Four-phase rhinomanometry offers promise but lacks validation. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) screening is gaining relevance. Evidence supports perioperative corticosteroids and tranexamic acid; routine antibiotics appear unnecessary. PROMs (NOSE, ROE, SNOT-22) are widely used. - - Evidence for rhinoplasty is growing but heterogeneous. Standardized diagnostics, PROM-linked objective measures, and long-term data are needed to guide future patient-centered care.
