Early management of columellar skin necrosis post-revision septorhinoplasty
<p>Background: Columellar skin necrosis is a rare complication of Septorhinoplasty procedures. However, it is more frequent in patients who undergo multiple revision procedures and have poor skin quality. Therefore, some patients require wound care immediately post-operation. Dressing of the c...

520 | |a <p>Background: Columellar skin necrosis is a rare complication of Septorhinoplasty procedures. However, it is more frequent in patients who undergo multiple revision procedures and have poor skin quality. Therefore, some patients require wound care immediately post-operation. Dressing of the columellar region is difficult due to the location and anatomical configuration. </p><p>Case presentation: In this paper, we present a case of partial necrosis of the columellar skin following an open Septorhinoplasty procedure which was noted on the first post-operative day. Improving circulation to the affected area was the key target of the treatment approach. </p><p>Conclusion: A topical hemoglobin-based oxygenating spray (Granulox, SastoMed GmbH, Georgsmarienhütte, Germany) was applied immediately on the columellar skin wound as it is a simple and easy dressing material and can lead to healing without obvious scarring.</p><p>Key points</p><p>Question: Would an early, minimally invasive intervention with a hemoglobin-based oxygenating spray in a patient who was diagnosed with partial columellar skin necrosis 24 hours post revision Septorhinoplasty - without the need for surgical management provide a satisfactory outcome? </p><p>Finding and meaning: The treatment yielded a good aesthetic outcome in a short duration with no significant side effects and demonstrated the ease of treating a difficult complication without the need for more surgeries. </p> | ||
