Definition of specialized medical care + detailed specialty areas
• 1) Correction of septal deviation/anterior/upper support structure / • 2) Inferior turbinate hypertrophy/rhinitis/mucosal preservation surgery / • 3) Internal nasal valve stenosis/expansion/upper abduction reconstruction / • 4) External nasal valve/nasal wing dynamic collapse/support reconstruction / • 5) Trauma/post-operative recurrence nasal congestion/perforation/saddle nose advanced referral
patient problem
• Nasal congestion often coexists with rhinitis and structural abnormalities, and symptoms may persist if nasal valve collapse or mucosal disease remains even after simple septal resection or cauterization of the inferior turbinate. / • Specialized clinics record symptoms, endoscopy/dynamic tests, and drug reactions to reduce unnecessary surgeries and manage functional results and risk of reoperation.
Treatment methods and treatment routes
• Differentiate between septal deviation/spinous/anterior/superior deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, internal/external nasal valve stenosis/dynamic collapse, structural nasal congestion after trauma/surgery, and rhinitis/sleep comorbidities. / • Nasal valve reconstruction according to indications, such as nasal irrigation, topical steroids/allergy treatment, mucosa-preserving inferior turbinate surgery, nasal septum correction/suture/relocation, expansion/nasal wing support, and butterfly transplant. / • Suspected tumor/skull base/CSF, extensive trauma, saddle nose/perforation, multiple reoperations, and severe sleep apnea are referred to a high-level rhinology/facial reconstruction/sleep center. / • Nasal congestion left and right/posture/movement changes, rhinitis medication response/sleep/trauma/surgery, endoscopy, nasal septum/inferior turbinate and internal and external nasal valve dynamic status are recorded at the same time. / • After treating the mucosal cause first, document the indications and functional goals for each nasal septum, inferior turbinate, and nasal valve in structural nasal congestion that remains. / • Collaborate with rhinology/facial reconstruction, allergy/respiratory medicine, sleep medicine, imaging/pathology, plastic surgery, and advanced skull base/trauma teams.
