The Cases
Case Report
The 55-year-old patient had suffered for a longer time from a rhinophyma. Before taking on a new job he thus, wanted it to be removed.
After an infraorbital conduction anaesthesia and regional block anaesthesia with Xylocain 2 % 1:200 000 at the root of the nose and the nose bridge, the surgery area and the complete face are cleaned with Octenisept, a mucosa antiseptic agent.
The Surgical Procedure
With the triangle electrode No. 26 and unit setting CUT 35 watt the basic shape of the nose is reconstructed. To increase the conductivity of the radio waves, the skin is moistened with a wet swab, before it is touched with the activated electrode. This procedure is necessary at the skin surface only.
