Modern Rhinoplasty and the Management of Its Complications

Current basic principles of surgery are ever changing. The remarkable discoveries in antisepsis, anesthesiology, physiology, and pharmacology are few dramatic changes that have forever turned surgery into a relatively safe and predictable profession. In the early part of the nineteenth century, the vast majority of surgical interventions had extremely high morbidity and mortality, such that surgery was only a last resort for life-saving interventions. There is clearly an evolutionary force behind the continuously changing trends and enhanced techniques that aim to improve the safety, outcome, and predictability of surgical interventions.
