ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Evaluation of surgery outcome measured by patient satisfaction or quality of life is very important, especially in plastic surgery. There is increasing interest in self-reporting outcomes evaluation in plastic surgery. Objective: The aim of our study was to determine patient satisfaction in regard to nose appearance and function with the use of a validated questionnaire, before and after rhinoplasty surgery. Methods: A prospective study was realized at a tertiary centre. All rhinoplasty surgeries performed in adults between February 2013 and August 2014 were included. Many patients underwent additional nasal surgery such as septoplasty or turbinoplasty. The surgical procedures and patients' characteristics were also recorded. Results: Among 113 patients, 107 completed the questionnaires and the follow-up period. Analysis of pre-operative and post-operative Rhinoplasty Evaluation Outcome showed a significant improvement after 3 and 6 months in functional and aesthetic questions (p < 0.01). In the pre-operative, patients anxious and insecure had a worse score (p < 0.05). Difference in improvement of scores was not significant when groups were divided on basis of other nasal procedures, primary or revision surgery and open versus closed approach. Conclusion: We found that patients with lower literacy degree were more satisfied with the procedure. Rhinoplasty surgery significantly improved patient quality of life regarding nose function and appearance.


Resumo Introdução: A avaliação do desfecho de cirurgia medido pela satisfação ou qualidade de vida do paciente é muito importante, especialmente em cirurgia plástica. Existe um interesse crescente na autoavaliação de desfechos nesta especialidade cirúrgica. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a satisfação do paciente em relação à aparência e função do nariz com o uso de um questionário validado, antes e depois da cirurgia de rinoplastia. Método: Estudo prospectivo realizado em um centro terciário. Todas as cirurgias de rinoplastia feitas em adultos entre fevereiro de 2013 e agosto de 2014 foram incluídas. Muitos pacientes foram submetidos à cirurgia nasal adicional, como septoplastia ou turbinoplastia. Os procedimentos cirúrgicos e as características dos pacientes também foram registrados. Resultados: Entre 113 pacientes, 107 completaram os questionários e o período de acompanhamento. A análise da avaliação do desfecho de rinoplastia (ADR) no pré-operatório e pós-operatório mostrou uma melhoria significativa após 3 e 6 meses em questões funcionais e estéticas (p < 0,01). No pré-operatório, os pacientes ansiosos e inseguros apresentaram um escore pior (p < 0,05). A diferença na melhoria dos escores não foi significativa quando os grupos foram divididos com base em outros procedimentos nasais, cirurgia primária ou revisão e abordagem aberta versus fechada. Conclusão: Verificou-se que pacientes com menor grau de alfabetização estavam mais satisfeitos com o procedimento. A cirurgia de rinoplastia melhorou significativamente a qualidade de vida do paciente quanto à função e ao aspecto do nariz.

ABSTRACT

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known by the eponym Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder characterised by the presence of multiple arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) affecting multiple organs. Many procedures have been used for epistaxis control in patients with this disorder. The objective of this study was to report the treatment of severe HHT-related epistaxis with the modified Young’s procedure. Materials and methods: We describe the treatment of 4 patients with severe blood-transfusion dependent epistaxis who underwent a modified Young’s procedure in a tertiary hospital. The nasal closure was bilateral and complete in all cases. All patients were followed for 12 months or longer. Results: The procedure was well tolerated and complete cessation of bleeding was achieved in all the patients. Conclusion: Young’s technique is a safe surgical procedure, well tolerated by patients with severe epistaxis and HHT (AU)


La telangiectasia hemorrágica hereditaria (HHT), también conocida por el epónimo síndrome de Osler-Weber-Rendu es un trastorno autosómico dominante caracterizado por la presencia de malformaciones arteriovenosas (MAV) que afectan a múltiplos órganos y sistemas. Un gran número de procedimientos fue utilizado para el control de epistaxis en estos pacientes. El objetivo de este estudio fue reportar el tratamiento de las epistaxis severas relacionadas con HHT con procedimiento de Young modificado. Materiales y métodos: Describimos cuatro pacientes con epistaxis severa, dependientes de transfusiones de sangre, que se sometieron a un procedimiento de Young modificado en un hospital de tercer nivel. El cierre nasal fue bilateral y completo en todos los casos. Se observaron todos los pacientes durante 12 meses o más. Resultados: El procedimiento fue bien tolerado y se logró el cese completo de las hemorragias en todos los pacientes. Conclusión: La cirugía de Young es un procedimiento seguro y bien tolerado por los pacientes con epistaxis severa y HHT (AU)
