Summary: Reducing postoperative strain on the patient after rhinoplasty is important, and using drains to remove blood from under the dissected soft tissue envelope can effectively decrease ecchymosis, edema, and swelling. Our study showed a significant reduction in ecchymosis on day 2 and 14 after surgery (p = 0.006 and p = 0.017) and a significant effect for edema and general swelling on day 2 (p = 0.027 and p = 0.004). Drains in open rhinoplasty with wide degloving are an easily applicable, cheap, and reproducible approach to reduce postoperative ecchymosis, edema, and swelling, although long-term effects need further evaluation.

Summary: This study compared the use of a conventional osteotome and a powered micro-saw in septorhinoplasty. The results showed that using a powered micro-saw for osteotomy resulted in less postoperative pain and nasal blockage compared to using a conventional osteotome. The functional and aesthetic outcomes were similar between the two methods. Therefore, a powered micro-saw can be considered as an alternative to a conventional osteotome.

Summary: Nasal osteotomy is an important step in rhinoplasty procedures that can cause postoperative periorbital ecchymosis and edema. This study compared the early postoperative outcomes of using the external perforating method and open sky access technique for nasal osteotomy. The results showed that the open sky access osteotomy produced less mucosal tear compared to the percutaneous perforating osteotomy, with no significant difference in postoperative periorbital ecchymosis and edema.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between nasal skin thickness and postoperative periorbital ecchymosis and edema, finding that patients with thicker nasal skin tend to have higher rates of postoperative edema and ecchymosis. While there was a significant correlation between thicker nasal skin and ecchymosis, the relationship with edema was less clear.

Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of local injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) on bleeding, edema, and ecchymosis during and after primary rhinoplasty. The results showed that TXA injection significantly reduced intraoperative bleeding and postoperative edema and ecchymosis without any side effects or complications.

Summary: The study showed that in open rhinoplasty surgeries, a 20-degree reverse Trendelenburg position can reduce intraoperative blood loss, provide a more bloodless surgical field, and decrease edema and ecchymoses around the eyes in the postoperative period.

Summary: The objective of this article was to review the effectiveness of different cryotherapy techniques in reducing edema, ecchymosis, and pain after rhinoplasty. A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases to identify relevant articles. The included articles were categorized based on when cryotherapy was administered and the specific technique used. Cryotherapy has shown promising outcomes in reducing postoperative side effects and further research is needed to develop guidelines for its use.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mild hypocapnia induced in rhinoplasty on the severity of periorbital ecchymosis. The results showed that patients with induced mild hypocapnia had less severe ecchymosis, but the difference did not reach statistical significance compared to the normocapnic control group.

Summary: In this study, we aimed to reduce postoperative edema and ecchymosis by applying a minidrain system. We evaluated the effectiveness of this intervention by observing patients on the left and right sides, comparing the intervention side with the control side. The use of a drain on the left side resulted in a significant decrease in ecchymosis at postoperative day 7.

Summary: Burn is a complex pathophysiologic phenomenon and novel therapeutic approaches are needed. TISSEELTM, a fibrin sealant, can be an alternate treatment for burn management in areas without specialized burn departments or surgeons, preventing acute consequences.

Summary: The study proposes a method to prepare autologous bio-based fibrin glue for ophthalmic surgery. The adhesive strength of FG increased with fibrinogen concentration, and FG2 and FG3 showed successful results in conjunctival autografts with equivalent properties compared to commercial FG and reduced inflammation.
