Operative Note |
PROCEDURE: Rhinoplasty. |
SUMMARY: After adequate informed consent was obtained, the
patient was brought to the operating room. After induction of general endotracheal anesthesia, the patient was prepped and draped
in the usual sterile fashion. The very bulbus nose was first infiltrated using 1% Xylocaine with epinephrin. After giving
adequate time for the epinephrine and having it taken its completed effect, the area was resected sharply using a scalpel. This
was then followed by contouring using dermabrader. Hemostasis was maintained with electrocautery along with topical application
of epinephrine. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was awakened from anesthesia without difficulty and was transferred
to recovery in satisfactory condition.
