Perioperative Settings in Rhinoplasty

ABSTRACT

Rhinoplasty is a demanding procedure surrounded by a sequence of events. This array of events is set to be functional in a specific environment, generally acknowledged as settings. The perioperative settings in rhinoplasty constitute the core of a medical unit. They are the working tools in a surgeon's practice, providing support and safety to the patients. The purpose of this article is to identify the updated preoperative and postoperative settings in rhinoplasty, pointing out their role in the perioperative care of the patient.
