Asian Septorhinoplasty: Conundrums and Solutions

Asian Septorhinoplasty: Conundrums and Solutions is a specialized medical text that addresses the challenging problems surgeons encounter when performing septorhinoplasty and secondary rhinoplasty in Asian patients. The book identifies evidence-based solutions, beginning with a discussion of issues relating to the longevity of alloplastic implants.

Subsequent chapters explore dilemmas in Asian septorhinoplasty, including resorption of autogenous grafts and various aspects of technique, with the aim of enabling surgeons to achieve consistent high-end results. The coverage of secondary rhinoplasty includes conundrums relating to the distinction between infection and delayed inflammation, the choice of graft materials, correction of the contracted nose, and key decisions for patients in whom the septum has been previously resected.

A separate chapter provides guidance on the approach to specific difficult cases encountered in Asian populations, including tip deformity, columellar necrosis, nostril asymmetry, and recurrent nasal deviation. Finally, advice is given on best practice in the use of alloplastic materials. This first edition is published by Springer and runs 199 pages.
