Perioperative care for advanced rhinology procedures.

Successful outcomes in rhinologic surgery require careful endoscopic interventions, not only in the operating room, but also in the perioperative setting. In particular, meticulous postoperative care is essential to successful outcomes. This article reviews aspects of wound healing and perioperative care that can optimize surgical patency and clinical outcome.
