Kim YH, Kim BJ, Bang KH, et al. Septoplasty improves life quality related to allergy in patients with septal deviation and allergic rhinitis. Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 2011;145(6):910-914. Koutsourelakis I, Georgoulopoulos G, Perraki E, et al. Randomised trial of nasal surgery for fixed nasal obstruction in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Reconstructive rhinoplasty is surgery of the nose to correct an external nasal deformity, damaged nasal structures or to replace lost tissue, while maintaining or improving the physiological function of the nose.
Its purpose is to restore the structure facilitating proper nasal function. Cosmetic enhancement, if any, is incidental.
Each nasal cavity is divided into 3 passageways (the superior, middle and inferior meati) by the projection of the 4 nasal turbinates (inferior, middle, superior and supreme) from the lateral walls of the internal nose. The inferior turbinate is a separate bone, while the other 3 are part of the ethmoid bone.
Bleeding from the posterior half of the nose, however, is more likely to be caused by a splitting of a sclerotic blood vessel and is more common in hypertensive patients. Anterior nosebleeds are easy to treat by aspirating the blood clots, applying topical epinephrine and cauterizing the bleeding point. Prolonged packing of both sides of the nose may be necessary to allow healing in some patients. Because it is often impossible to see the exact bleeding site in posterior nosebleeds, treatment is more difficult. Bleeding must be controlled by compression of the bleeding vessel with a postnasal pack for 48 to 96 hours, arterial ligation or transpalatal injection of saline solution into the greater palatine foramen. Usually operative procedures on the nasal septum are not required for the control of nosebleeds; however, sometimes when projecting parts of the septum are traumatized by the drying effect of inspired air and impede visualization of the area of the nose posterior to the deviation, then septoplasty may be indicated to visualize the area for purposes of cautery and control.
The vestibule of the nostril is lined with skin containing nasal hairs and some sebaceous and sweat glands. The nose is lined with respiratory mucosa except for the skin in the vestibule and the olfactory epithelium. Mucus secreted by the mucosa is carried back to the nasopharynx by the cilia of the mucosa.
The nasal valves or vestibules are the areas just inside the nostrils comprised of cartilage and are structured to work together to keep the nasal airway open by facilitating airflow resistance during breathing. The internal valves are located in each side of the nose at the upper edge of the hair bearing area, while the outer (external) valves are at the edge of the nostril rim. Aging, congenital abnormality or prior nasal surgery may cause nasal valve impairment such as nasal valve collapse, also referred to as vestibular stenosis. Nasal valves may narrow, weaken or collapse resulting in symptoms of nasal obstruction.
The authors concluded that septoplasty increases S. aureus colonization and decreases normal flora. Antibiotics do not protect against S. aureus colonization and contribute to a decrease in normal flora.
When coding a previous or current cesarean-section (C-section) scar, Z98.891 History of uterine scar from previous surgery is appropriate when the mother is receiving antepartum care and has had a previous C-section delivery with no abnormalities. You must confirm that the mother is receiving antepartum care and there are (thus far) no complications or abnormalities of the organs and soft tissues of the pelvis causing an obstruction or complication.#N#If the presence of a scar from a previous C-section is causing an obstruction or complication—such as requiring hospitalization, specific obstetric care, or cesarean delivery before the onset of labor—use O34.21- Maternal care for scar from previous cesarean delivery. This is also is correct code for postpartum care if the patient has had a C-section delivery.#N#Note that the sixth character in the above code indicates the type of scar. You should encourage your providers to be exact and describe the scar with specificity:
O34.21- can be used for both the antepartum and postpartum care of the mother. If the patient has a scar that is causing an obstruction or care beyond that is considered to be normal, the visit generally would not be considered “routine;” therefore, I recommend not coding O34.21- with Z34.- normal pregnancy. If the care rendered is routine, and the ...
