ABSTRACT
A crooked nose is the result of deformities that might involve the bony nasal pyramid, the upper and lower lateral cartilages, and nasal septum, causing complaints of aesthetic and/or functional nature. PURPOSE: To evaluate how satisfied are those patients who underwent rhinoplasty to correct crooked nose, through the questionnaire Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE). MATERIAL AND METHOD: A longitudinal study with retrospective analysis of preoperative satisfaction and prospective analysis of postoperative satisfaction of patients who underwent rhinoplasty. ROE questionnaire was applied twice in the same visit aiming at measuring patient satisfaction in both pre and postoperative periods. Nineteen patients who underwent rhinoplasty answered the ROE. RESULTS: For all patients who underwent rhinoplasty, the average preoperative satisfaction score was of 24. 6±11. 3, while the average postoperative score was of 76. 1±19. 5 (p<0. 0001). Average differences between pre and postoperative satisfaction scores in patients younger than 30 years of age were lower than those reported by >30-year-old patients (p=0. 05). CONCLUSIONS: From the Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation questionnaire, it is possible to demonstrate the impact that rhinoplasty to correct a crooked nose determines the quality of life of patients. Approximately 90 percent of patients undergoing rhinoplasty believed they achieved a good or excellent postoperative result.
RESUMO
O nariz torto ou laterorrinia é resultado de deformidades que podem envolver a pirâmide nasal, as cartilagens laterais superiores, alares e o septo nasal, causando queixas estéticas e/ou funcionais. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a satisfação dos pacientes submetidos à rinoplastia para a correção do nariz torto, a partir do questionário Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE). MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Estudo longitudinal, tipo coorte retrospectivo, com análise retrospectiva da satisfação pré-operatória e prospectiva da satisfação pós-operatória. Dezenove pacientes submetidos à rinoplastia responderam ao questionário ROE. RESULTADOS: A média da nota da satisfação de todos os pacientes submetidos à rinoplastia, para a correção do nariz torto, no pré-operatório foi de 24,6±11,3 e no pós-operatório foi de 76,1±19,5 (p<0,0001). Os pacientes com idade <30 anos apresentaram menor média da diferença das notas da satisfação entre pós e pré-operatório que os pacientes >30 anos (p=0,05). CONCLUSÃO: A partir da aplicação do questionário Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation, é possível demonstrar o impacto que a rinoplastia para a correção do nariz torto determina na qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Aproximadamente 90 por cento dos pacientes submetidos à rinoplastia para a correção do nariz torto consideram que atingiram bom ou excelente resultado pós-operatório.
