Medical Management of Rhinologic
Disorders in the Rhinoplasty Patient
C. Spencer Cochran  Bradley F. Marple
Although some patients undergo rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons, many pa-
tients seek initial surgical evaluation for correction of functional problems with the nose, such as nasal obstruction or congestion. e nose performs six key functions of the upper airway: respiration, olfaction, humidication, tempera­ture modication, particle ltration, and phonation. Any of these nasal functions can be altered or impaired by structural or functional abnormalities arising from sinonasal disease processes, and functions that are aected by mucosal disease are particularly important to the rhinoplasty surgeon.
A thorough understanding of nasal function and the impact of rhinologic disease processes is crucial to the overall success of the rhinoplasty surgeon.

INFLAMMATORY DISORDERS OF THE NOSE AND PARANASAL SINUSES
e nasal mucosa and its mucociliary blanket act as the initial barrier to infec­tion and environmental insult. us the intranasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses are frequent sites of both allergic and nonallergic inammation. Nasal mucus is a complex aqueous mixture of glycoproteins, lipids, salts, and other cellular constituents that normally protects nasal epithelia. Aside from its function as a simple mechanical barrier, nasal mucus likely plays an active role through in­activation of many substances that gain access to the nose. Understanding the underlying pathophysiology of the inammatory disorders can improve the se­lection of treatments of these conditions and their impact on rhinoplasty patients and outcomes.
Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis has been estimated to aect  million Americans, with health care–related expenditures in the billions of dollars. Allergic rhinitis is a type I allergic reaction in which allergen-specic immunoglobulin E (IgE) bound to nasal mast cells interacts with an inhalant allergen to produce the following symptoms of allergic rhinitis: sneezing, pruritus, congestion, rhinorrhea, and nasal discharge. Although allergic rhinitis is still only partially understood, key elements of its pathophysiology have been elucidated. Initially, an individual who is susceptible to the development of allergic disease encounters a potential allergen. Sensitization is the process in which the immune system is triggered to recognize an allergen, ultimately leading to the development of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes, and allergen-specic IgE. On subsequent exposures, the same allergen can simultaneously bind to two adjacent allergen-specic IgE molecules on the surface of a mast cell, triggering degranulation of the cell and release of histamine and other inammatory mediators. is reaction is referred to as the early phase response and leads to the immediate onset of symptoms, such as sneezing, rhinorrhea, and congestion. is process, in turn, leads to further re­cruitment of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and eosinophils. Once at the site of the initial degranulation of the mast cell, these inammatory cells give rise to a self­sustaining inammatory reaction known as the late phase response, which is less severe but more prolonged than the early phase response.
Treatment of allergic rhinitis begins with identication of and avoidance of the allergen, which precludes the formation of antigen-specic IgE and eliminates the initiation point of the allergic cascade. In reality, avoidance is dicult to achieve,

and patients must rely on medical management to treat their allergy symptoms. Medical management of allergic rhinitis involves both target therapy and im­munomodulation. Targeted forms of therapy (antihistamines, decongestants, mucolytics, anticholinergics, antileukotrienes, and mast cell stabilizers) address the mediator eects of allergy, whereas immunomodulation (topical or systemic steroids, immunotherapy, and potentially monoclonal antibodies) prevents ini­tiation and downregulates the allergic response.
Allergy may present as a single rhinologic disease, or it may coexist with or con­tribute to other rhinologic disease processes. For example, allergy produces mu­cosal edema, which may lead to sinusitis via ostial obstruction and set the stage for secondary bacterial infection.
Allergic rhinitis may present as a single rhinologic disease, or it may coexist with or contribute to other rhinologic disease processes.
Acute Rhinosinusitis
Acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is an inammatory state involving the paranasal si­nuses and intranasal mucosa. It is dened as a discrete infectious process that lasts less than  weeks. e diagnosis of ARS is established by a strong history of two or more major factors, one major factor plus two minor factors, or nasal purulence on examination. Allergy, structural abnormalities, cystic brosis, cilia defects, viral or bacterial infections, and immunosuppression can contribute to the development of ARS. Antibiotics and decongestants are the mainstays of treatment for bacterial ARS.

Rhinoplasty is generally contraindicated in the presence of active infection.
Chronic Rhinosinusitis
Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), an inammatory state diering in duration from ARS, was formally dened in  by the Task Force for Dening Chronic Rhi­nosinusitis as a “group of disorders characterized by inammation of the mucosa of the nose and paranasal sinuses of at least  weeks’ duration.” Although infec­tion certainly may represent a component of CRS, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a multifactorial causation and interrelationship among many of the inammatory disorders of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Treatment of CRS is medical, with functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) reserved for treatment failures. Several studies indicate that sinus surgery at the time of rhi­noplasty may be a viable option if there are no signs of infection.
Allergic Fungal Rhinosinusitis
Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFS) is an immunologically mediated sinonasal disease process rather than an infectious process. e inammation associated with AFS is probably related to eosinophil chemotaxis and degranulation. e diagnosis of AFS is established by the characteristics of IgE-mediated hypersen­sitivity, nasal polyposis, characteristic CT or MRI ndings, allergic fungal mu­cin, and positive fungal stain of sinonasal contents. Long-term control of allergic fungal sinusitis requires both elimination of fungal antigen (usually requiring surgery) and control of its recurrence through either immunomodulation (im­munotherapy or corticosteroids) or fungistatic antimicrobials.

Nasal Polyposis
Nasal polyposis is the end result of intranasal inammation and may present as an isolated phenomenon, referred to as idiopathic nasal polyposis, or as a compo- nent of other rhinologic diseases such as allergic fungal sinusitis. Samter’s triad refers to nasal polyposis in addition to asthma and allergy or sensitivity to aspi­rin. Inammatory nasal polyposis is usually a bilateral disease and when unilateral may signify a neoplastic process.
Treatment of nasal polyposis entails administration of antileukotrienes, topical steroids, systemic corticosteroids, and oen debulking in a functional endoscopic sinus surgical procedure. Although steroid nasal sprays are eective for the treat ment of small nasal polyps and prevention of polyp regrowth aer nasal and si­nus surgery, large polyp masses that essentially block the nasal passage will not generally yield to topical therapy.
NONINFLAMMATORY RHINOLOGIC DISORDERS
Rhinitis Medicamentosa
-
Rhinitis medicamentosa refers to rebound rhinitis and congestion of the nasal mucosa resulting from the sudden cessation of topical decongestants aer pro­longed use. Treatment is supportive and entails absolute abstinence from further topical decongestants. Topical steroid sprays and even systemic steroids may be benecial to attenuate the mucosal hyperemia and edema.
Postrhinoplasty Rhinitis
Aer rhinoplasty, some patients complain of nasal obstruction. Beekhuis re­ported a % incidence of symptomatic nasal obstruction in his series of rhino­plasty patients. Treatment is oen expectant, but oral decongestants, topical nasal steroid sprays, and nasal saline irrigation may be of use.
Atrophic Rhinitis
Overresection of intranasal structures such as the middle or inferior turbinate can lead to atrophy of the nasal mucosa with subsequent symptoms of dryness, crusting, and nasal obstruction. Nasal saline solution may provide symptomatic relief.

PHARMACOLOGIC AGENTS
Antihistamines
e histamine that is released from mast cells in the allergic response causes vasodilation and an increase in vascular permeability. Early phase reactions to histamine produce symptoms such as sneezing, rhinorrhea, and congestion. Late phase reactions include eosinophil recruitment, cellular adhesion, and leuko­triene eects.
Antihistamines are agents that have been developed to block the histamine that is released in response to exposure to an allergen. First-generation antihistamines competitively bind H-receptors and eectively attenuate the local eects of his­tamine. Unfortunately, their lipophilic nature allows them to cross the blood­brain barrier and produce central nervous system side eects such as sedation, decreased cognitive performance, decreased motor coordination, and impair­ment in central interpretation of vestibular input. In addition, rst-generation antihistamines have anticholinergic eects such as xerostomia and urinary re­tention. Paradoxical stimulation by antihistamines may be seen in infants and older patients.
e newer second- and third-generation antihistamines bind H-receptors non­competitively, are lipophobic, and have minimal anticholinergic activity. As a result, they are associated with fewer side eects, including less sedation, less psychomotor depression, and fewer anticholinergic eects. ey do not dem­onstrate the phenomenon of antihistamine tolerance, or “tachyphylaxis,” which had been observed with rst-generation compounds. Additionally, newer antihis­tamines also act directly on inammatory mediators, diminishing their produc­tion or negating their eects. Ecacy proles of later generation antihistamines are similar to those of the sedating antihistamines with regard to the attenuation of the irritative symptoms of allergic rhinitis, which include sneezing, pruritus, and rhinorrhea; however, neither is ecacious in alleviating congestion.
,
For this reason, antihistamines and decongestants such as pseudoephedrine are fre quently combined.

A move toward topical preparations in the treatment of allergic rhinitis has in­cluded the development of several antihistamines delivered in this fashion. e rst intranasal antihistamine introduced in the United States was azelastine, which appears to be equivalent to other antihistamines in potency. Unfortu­nately, a high incidence of taste perversion has been noted among patients us­ing it. Topical nasal formulations of levocabastine have been introduced in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. is preparation is said to be , times more potent than chlorpheniramine, with duration of eect of  hours or more and few if any side eects.

Because of similar ecacy among older and newer generation antihistamines, selection should be based on safety, cost, physician’s experience, and individual preference.
Rhinoplasty patients who have symptomatic allergic rhinitis and who take anti­histamines should continue their medication regimen in the perioperative period.
Decongestants
Decongestants exert a sympathomimetic eect via a-- and a--receptor stimula­tion. ey displace norepinephrine from presynaptic sympathetic receptors and block the reuptake of norepinephrine, resulting in smooth muscle contraction and vasoconstriction. Decongestants are available as topical agents or systemic agents. Systemic formulations (pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine) achieve peak levels in  to  hours and have a half-life of  to  hours. ey are administered alone or as a component in many over-the-counter cold and allergy preparations. Additionally, decongestants may be formulated with prescription antihistamines (for example, Allegra-D) to relieve nasal congestion, the allergic symptom complex that is not addressed by antihistamines alone. As is the case with over-the-counter combinations, the decongestant most commonly com­bined with an antihistamine is pseudoephedrine, in a total daily dose of  to  mg.
Decongestants are not without their side eects. e most common side eect of systemically administered decongestants is cardiovascular stimulation. Pseudo­ephedrine may produce somewhat less blood pressure elevation than the other available systemic decongestants, although any decongestant may be used (albeit with caution) in patients with stable, treated hypertension. lar stimulatory eects of these drugs include tachycardia, palpitations, and even arrhythmias. e central nervous system stimulation produced by decongestants is generally manifested as anxiety and insomnia. Additionally, the stimulatory side eects of systemic decongestants are enhanced by tricyclic antidepressants

and MAO inhibitors. e potentiation by MAO inhibitors may persist for up to  weeks aer these drugs have been discontinued. us systemic decongestants should be administered cautiously and in reduced doses in patients with hyper­tension, atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, and/or hyperthyroidism, in pa­tients taking MAO inhibitors, and in patients with urinary retention.
Topical decongestants (oxymetazoline and phenylephrine) have an onset of ac­tion of  minutes and a duration of more than  hours. ey have a greater local potency and fewer systemic eects compared with systemic decongestants. A frequently encountered problem associated with prolonged use of topical decon­gestants is rhinitis medicamentosa; however, the risk of rhinitis medicamentosa can be minimized by limiting topical decongestant use to just  to  days.
Topical and systemic decongestants may be a benecial symptomatic treatment modality for patients aer septorhinoplasty to help reduce postoperative conges­tion and nasal obstruction.
e risk of rhinitis medicamentosa can be minimized by limiting topical decon­gestant use to just 3 to 5 days.
Nasal Saline Solution
Topical nasal saline solution has been used as an adjunct in the treatment of mul­tiple rhinologic disorders as well as in the postoperative care of patients under­going rhinoplasty or endoscopic sinus surgery. Saline facilitates the removal of blood clots and secretions, particularly when nasal splints are in place. Anecdotal evidence supports the ecacy of nasal saline solution. Although there have not been many scientic studies addressing the use of nasal saline, Tomooka et al reported a statistically signicant improvement in nasal symptoms in patients with sinonasal disease who used nasal irrigation.
Anticholinergics
Topical anticholinergic preparations (ipratropium bromide) decrease parasym­pathetic tone locally to decrease watery rhinorrhea, a common complaint in pa­tients with allergic rhinitis. However, anticholinergics do not reduce congestion, irritation, itching, or sneezing. Ipratropium bromide is now available in .% and .% strengths in a metered-dose pump spray for intranasal use. e .% strength is primarily used to alleviate the initial rhinorrhea of the common cold, whereas the .% concentration is used to control rhinorrhea caused by va-

somotor rhinitis, perennial nonallergic rhinitis, perennial allergic rhinitis, and gustatory rhinitis.
,
e most important factor is a sucient dose early in the day to control symp­toms, with additional dosing as necessary. e recommended dosing regimen is two sprays in each nostril in the morning on arising, with subsequent doses of two sprays in midaernoon and in the evening, if needed. Oen the morning dose alone suces. In these circumstances, the use of a topical anticholinergic is not curative but will oen control symptoms that are extremely bothersome to the patient. Side eects from topical nasal ipratropium are minimal, and its long-term use does not appear thus far to present a problem.
Leukotriene Receptor Antagonists
Although histamine plays a signicant role as the primary culprit of the allergic reaction, leukotrienes are a group of inammatory mediators that play a support­ing role in sinonasal inammation. Leukotrienes, formerly referred to collectively as slow-reacting substances of anaphylaxis, were isolated in  and consist of a family of inammatory mediators that are end-products of the arachidonic acid cascade produced in response to degranulation of mast cells.
e biologic eects of the cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC, LTD, LTE) can act to trigger a number of processes important to inammation of respiratory mucosa, including chemotaxis of inammatory cells (for example, neutrophils, lympho­cytes, eosinophils), increased permeability of vessels, and vasodilation.
,
Identication of the leukotrienes as an important mediator of allergic inamma­tion piqued interest in the potential that blocking their eect might have on the allergic response. Leukotriene-modifying agents were rst found to have a posi­tive eect in the control of asthma and then a benecial rhinologic application in treating allergic rhinitis, aspirin sensitivity (Samter’s triad), and idiopathic nasal polyposis. Several studies have proved their ecacy in alleviating the congestive symptoms of allergic rhinitis as well as sneezing and rhinorrhea. Because they improve mucus production and congestion, the treatment eect of a leukotriene inhibitor with an H-antagonist may be additive.
Montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist, acts to inhibit the action of leu­kotrienes at the end-organ receptor site. Studies comparing this preparation to placebo have demonstrated a statistically signicant impact on both daytime and nighttime symptoms of allergy. Moreover, this class of medications has demon­strated the ability to decrease the number of activated eosinophils resident within inamed mucosa. Given the relatively novel state of this class of medications and the limited amount of data that are currently available regarding their impact
Part One Basic Perioperative Concepts54
https://t.me/medicina_free
on allergic rhinitis, there is much to learn about how this class of medications may be used to positively aect patient outcomes. Initial information appears to support the use of leukotriene receptor antagonists in the treatment of symp­tomatic allergy, especially for symptoms of rhinorrhea and nasal congestion. e potential impact of this class of medications on eosinophils may also suggest a broader role in the treatment of inammatory disorders of the nose and parana­sal sinuses in the future.
Mast Cell Stabilizers
Cromolyn sodium (Nasalcrom, Intal) and nedocromil (Tilade) exert direct eects on mast cells by inhibiting their calcium-dependent degranulation in response to allergen exposure, although the exact mechanism of its action remains a mat­ter of conjecture. e result is prevention of an allergic reaction when it is used before exposure to an antigen. ese agents may also exert a late phase inhibi­tion of eosinophils and neutrophils. Although they are ineective if administered immediately aer allergen exposure, they are good for anticipated situational al­lergy if used  to  days before exposure to the inciting antigen.
Of course, to be eective, cromolyn (or any intranasally administered drug) must adequately reach the nasal mucosa. is means that it may not be appropriate for use in patients with severe septal deviation and/or marked turbinate hyper­trophy. Not only will polyps prevent cromolyn from achieving adequate contact with nasal mucosa, but also the cromolyn has no eect on the polyps. Rather, it prevents the allergic event when applied beforehand, and to a much lesser degree may ameliorate symptoms of an allergic event in progress. It must be reapplied every  to  hours to remain eective. Despite these shortcomings, cromolyn is especially eective for patients with allergy to well-dened inhalants that are unavoidable and are not encountered on a continuous basis. Also, cromolyn is exceptionally safe and is probably one of the best methods of providing relief for pregnant women with mild to moderate symptoms of allergic rhinitis.
Mucolytics
Mucolytics, such as guaifenesin, decrease the viscosity of mucus and increase its volume via a vagal nerve−mediated increase in parasympathetic tone. Waw­rose et al found a signicant decrease in congestion and thinner postnasal drip among patients with CRS, and Morgan and Petty showed improvement in the frequency of cough and chest discomfort in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, Druce found no support for the ability of guai­fenesin to reduce viscosity. e role of mucolytics as a symptomatic adjunct to treatment of sinonasal disorders and in postoperative care remains unclear.
