Abstract
This discussion critically evaluates the paper "Video-assisted septo-rhinoplasty, the future of endonasal rhinoplasty—A Technical Note." This discussion recognizes the substantial advantages offered by the novel endoscopic technique, such as improved visibility and the facilitation of surgical teaching. However, it also explores the inherent obstacles including potential restrictions in achieving full visibility of all nasal structures, a steeper learning curve for young surgeons due to the need to master endoscope manipulation, and difficulties in precision and accuracy during suture and graft placements in the confined operational field. This discussion underscores the importance of surgical adaptability as well as tailoring techniques to meet the specific anatomical and esthetic considerations of each patient. Even as the limitations of the endoscopic method are highlighted, its potential for advancing the field of rhinoplasty is affirmed. The inventiveness and dedication of the original authors are applauded, and we look forward to their continued innovation in this rapidly evolving discipline.
