Patient assessment form for septorhinoplasty.
Septorhinoplasty is one of the most sophisticated operations in aesthetic surgery. Surgical evolution and skill are mainly gained by close follow-up of patients, which can be achieved by physical examination, photographing, and meticulous recording obtained before and after operation. On the contrary to some previous forms reported for this aim, we hereby developed a novel form of only 1 document that is simple in design and practical to apply. We think that preoperative and post records of patients can more safely be obtained by means of our personal form. More optimal and scientific studies based on these filled forms can be performed prospectively and retrospectively. We also believe that this form can present a standard for the assessment of septorhinoplasty patients in researches, publications, and presentations, if it would generally be approved by aesthetic surgeons.
