This retrospective study aimed to assess the effects of the use of intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) imaging on outcomes in surgical treatment of nasal fractures. Furthermore, we investigated whether the use of intraoperative imaging improves outcomes and decreases the frequency of corrective surgeries compared to published literature. This retrospective descriptive study included patients who underwent operative treatment for nasal fractures with the use of intraoperative 3D imaging between January 2015 and January 2020 at a University Hospital. The primary outcome measure was patient satisfaction, which was assessed through patient charts about subjective esthetic problems and nasal obstruction. The secondary outcome measures were the number of intraoperative images and necessity of intra- and postoperative revisions. All the outcomes were evaluated using regression analysis. Of the 172 patients, secondary rhinoplasty and intraoperative revision were performed in 10 (6 %) and 93 (54 %) patients, respectively. Postoperatively, 19 (11 %) and 12 (7 %) patients complained of subjective esthetic problems and nasal obstruction, respectively. The intraoperative revision rate in patients undergoing surgical treatment of nasal fractures with intraoperative 3D imaging was >50 %. However, the incidence of postoperative secondary revision, nasal obstruction, and subjective esthetic problems was lower than that reported in the literature not having an intraoperative imaging. Our findings suggest that prompt quality control of the operative result enables immediate correction and prevents postoperative revision.
