Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study evaluates the pre- and postoperative outcomes of patients undergoing external septorhinoplasty for both functional and aesthetic reasons. It utilizes patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) such as the NOSE and FACE-Q questionnaires, along with functional tests like nasal anterior rhinomanometry and acoustic rhinometry. Participants will be assessed at multiple time points: preoperatively and at 3, 6, and 12 months post-surgery to determine changes in nasal obstruction and aesthetic satisfaction. The study is conducted in a single private hospital setting in Antwerp.

Why it matters
