This selection includes careful preoperative planning. It is mainly consultation and examination of the patient by a doctor and, if necessary, an anesthesiologist.<\/p><h6>Comorbidity &#8211; Risk estimation<\/h6><p>An integral part of such an examination is the identification of the patient&#8217;s health conditions (comorbidity) essential for surgery. Different conditions can be a predisposition for intraoperative or postoperative complication. These factors are most commonly age, body weight, some past illnesses, diabetes. Heart disease can be predisposition to venous thrombosis. Hereby we also check if there are some airway diseases (e.g., sleep apnea). In case of necessity, consultation and opinion of specialists of the appropriate profession regarding the patient&#8217;s ability for surgery is mandatory.<\/p><h6><a href=\"https:\/\/dzepina.com\/en\/about-us\/ambience-polyclinic\/\">The organisation of the facility<\/a><\/h6><p>There are researches on the topic of patient satisfaction with surgical procedures outside the classic hospital environment. The results show that this experience is less stressful, with a greater degree of discretion, and generally more enjoyable. This result is in line with the set goals<em> of<\/em><strong><em>\u00a0outpatient surgical institutions (policlinics)<\/em><\/strong><em>.<\/em> A high degree of efficiency, safety and satisfaction, with minimal disruption of the pace of life and a quick return to daily activities. Over the last twenty years or so, we witness great advances in medical practice. A significant part of this improvement relates to the shift towards outpatient treatments, including increased safety of surgeries.<\/p><h6>Precautions and risk management<\/h6><p>However, from time to time, unwanted outcomes or side effects occur in such outpatient facilities. This draws the attention of the public and the media. When such situations arise, the questions that we ask are mainly reduced to two main ones:<\/p><ul><li>Was it a patient who could have had more adequate treatment in a hospital setting?<\/li><li>Did the institution and its staff act as safely as possible during the medical treatment? Is it in accordance with the rules of the profession?<\/li><\/ul><p>Of course, no one expects an adverse outcome in an outpatient setting (policlinic or similar) in advance. If this does happen, it is usually never a simple mistake or a one-time wrong decision in a treatment or surgery procedure. Such incidents are mainly the result of several factors. Therefore, their avoidance requires complex planning, staff training, and postoperative follow-up.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"elementor-tab-title-5773\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5773\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">How can smoking harm the outcome of surgery?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5773\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5773\"><p>Smoking affects the blood supply to the skin. Consequently it slows down the healing time and increases the risk of bleeding and other complications. Although smoking does not necessarily prevent your procedure, it is imperative to have information about this factor before surgery. If you are planning surgery (especially aesthetically on the head and neck), motivate an open conversation with the operator about your smoking habits.<\/p><p>In some cases, surgeon needs to modify the operation may\/must. For example, the location and length of the incision may change. However, you are more likely to be advised to quit smoking a few weeks before and after surgery. Sometimes this factor is crucial for the quality success of the operation and the speed of healing.<\/p><p>It is definitely advisable to consider reducing or quitting smoking. There is ample evidence that smoking contributes to the formation of wrinkles on the face, especially around the mouth.

It is about the appearance of my daughter&#8217;s ears. It has rather deformed cartilage on both ears. I see changes more in the upper parts which are very pronounced and somehow soft and flat in comparison with the lower parts. I\u2019ve read that this can be improved with surgery. I\u2019m a little scared given my child\u2019s age, and also if the ears return to their starting position after surgery.<\/span><\/p><ul><li><h6><strong>Answer<\/strong>:<\/h6><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; background-color: var( --e-global-color-0832729 );\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dzepina.com\/en\/services\/aesthetic-surgery\/otoplasty-aesthetic-ear-surgery\/\"><strong>Otoplasty<\/strong><\/a> in a child can be considered aesthetically functional due to the improvement of the appearance of standing or malformed ears, as well as for psychological reasons. The child is at the most sensitive age when frustration with appearance can have long-term consequences for psychological and social development. For these reasons, childhood is most ideal, when cartilage is softest. The operation aims to place the ears in the correct position and angle to the head and to get an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This is achieved by surgery that can be done under local or general anesthesia. The surgical technique consists of combining cartilage incision and placement of surgical sutures at the target sites. The rule is to operate on both ears in the same act. The sutures are removed 7. day after surgery. The child wears a bandage over the ears for the first few days and then for one month just overnight. After the operation, there is a small inconspicuous scar behind the ear itself. With this combined technique, the chances of the ears returning to the starting position are reduced to a minimum.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 id=\"elementor-tab-title-5872\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-5872\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Snoring and nose surgery in one act?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-5872\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-5872\"><ul><li><h6>Question:\u00a0<\/h6><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I have difficulty breathing but also snoring.

We can do nasal septum surgery in one act together with aesthetic correction of the external appearance of the nose. However, we must rule out other possible causes of snoring before deciding on surgery. These include e.g. long palate, enlarged tonsils or loose palate (uvula).
