The nose is one of the dominant features of the human face. It is important functionally in terms of airway patency, humidification, voice and olfaction.
The nose is also of great aesthetic importance. A small nose is generally considered more attractive than a large one. Alterations to nose size and shape are a great source of income to aesthetic surgeons (and anaesthetists).
This session will look at nasal anatomy in terms of:
- Structure and spatial orientation
- Complications of instrumentation
- Blood supply
- Venous drainage
- Nerve supply
