QMP 2024 Live Surgery Open Rhinoplasty Course With Enrico Robotti, MD: 2-Volume Video Series

By Enrico Robotti, MD

Join Dr. Robotti in the operating room in this unique two-volume video series covering structural and preservation primary hybrid rhinoplasty and secondary rhinoplasty with finesse rib grafting techniques.

Volume 1 provides viewers with a wide array of techniques, details, subtleties, and pitfalls in state-of-the-art “hybrid” primary rhinoseptoplasty, combining the very best of preservation and structural technique. All variations of cartilaginous push-down, full let-down, and modified cartilaginous push-down with enclosure of a portion of bony cap are shown. Structural management of the tip is demonstrated, with preservation–reconstruction of ligaments. Tip and dorsal dissection are shown on subperichondrial–subperiosteal planes and the use of three-point compartmentalization is demonstrated, to decrease edema and to provide proper surface contour. The new concepts of sublaminar septal dissection and interdomal ligament–septal perichondrial sling are demonstrated. The combined use of piezoelectric and power tools for osteotomies and osteoplasty is widely shown in every case. Management of the septum and turbinates is demonstrated for achieving proper function.

Volume 2 demonstrates the techniques, details, subtleties, and pitfalls of using rib in four unique secondary rhinoplasty cases. This includes state-of-the-art reconstruction of the dorsum with Dr. Robotti’s innovative techniques of SPF–SPLF grafts as well as “rib cartilage plaster.” The septal T “push-up” technique, which combines elements of preservation and structure with the use of rib is also demonstrated. Secondary rhinoplasty is a complex surgery which requires dedication and a long learning curve. This video series will provide viewers with a clear algorithm, flexibility and strategy in intraoperative choices, attention to detail, and mastery of numerous tips and tricks. The use of contemporary instrumentation, combining piezoelectric and power tools, and the specific technique for rib harvesting with proper attention to the donor site, rib shaping, and laminating is extensively covered. The importance of using finely crafted rib grafts and avoiding unnecessary bulk is demonstrated in all cases. The techniques for obtaining a proper airway with proper management of the valves, as well as better aesthetics, is also extensively covered.

Each case in the 2-volume set includes full preoperative discussion with proposed surgical plan and comprehensive demonstration of dissection, step-by-step surgical techniques, and final dressings.
