Patient-reported outcomes and complications after structural rhinoplasty with septal extension grafts
Official title: Patient-Reported Outcomes and Complications Following Structural Rhinoplasty Using Septal Extension Grafts: A Prospective Cohort Study
Run by Cumhuriyet University Hospital · NCT07531810 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will track adults having their first structural rhinoplasty with a septal extension graft to see how their symptoms, satisfaction, and any complications change over the first six months after surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 and older planning a primary structural rhinoplasty with a septal extension graft who can complete questionnaires and attend follow-up visits are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients undergoing revision rhinoplasty, concurrent major craniofacial procedures, or those unable to complete preoperative PROMs or attend follow-ups are unlikely to benefit from the study's findings.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This single-center prospective observational cohort will enroll consecutive adults undergoing primary structural rhinoplasty with septal extension grafts, all performed by the same surgical team using a standardized structural approach. Validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and clinical findings will be collected preoperatively and at approximately 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. The study will document postoperative complications and clinical signs such as tip stiffness, palpable grafts, columellar deviation, and the need for revision surgery. Investigators will correlate changes in PROM scores with clinical findings to better define patient-centered outcomes after SEG-based tip support.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help surgeons choose techniques that improve patient satisfaction and reduce complications after structural rhinoplasty with septal extension grafts.
How similar studies have gone: PROMs have been increasingly used in rhinoplasty and smaller or retrospective reports exist, but prospective longitudinal data specifically focused on septal extension grafts are limited.
