Postoperative nostril asymmetry after Le Fort I osteotomy: an analysis of the interplay between alar cinch sutures and intubation side
This study demonstrates that the nasotracheal intubation side may influence postoperative nostril width following Le Fort I osteotomy, particularly in patients receiving alar cinch sutures. The findings suggest that the physical presence of a nasotracheal tube during wound closure could interfere with the accurate assessment of alar base width.
