Septorhinoplasty with postoperative application of nasal taping and an external nasal cast. The tape and cast will be left in place for one week. No tissue glue will be used during the operation, although the nurse and surgical assistant will simulate the preparation and insertion of tissue glue using a syringe containing saline.
Septorhinoplasty will be performed. At the termination of the procedure, prior to closure, fibrin sealant will be applied by the surgical assistant to the surgical site. Approximately 0.5 cc to 2 cc of tissue sealant will be applied. After closure, tape and cast will be applied and left in place for one week.
