2021 Live Surgery With Enrico Robotti, MD Open Rhinoplasty Course Videos Free Download

By Enrico Robotti, MD

Dr. Robotti performs six surgeries as part of the 2021 Live Surgery Open Rhinoplasty Course. Step-by-step operative technique from markings to closure and dressing is included in each case, supplemented with clinical photos, and analysis of cone-beam CT and 3-D renderings. Viewers will benefit from technical pearls regarding the combined or alternative use of power tools and piezo for osteoplasty, osteotomy, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty. Emphasis is placed on various techniques for managing the dorsum, including Dr Robotti’s cartilaginous push-down technique to rebuild or preserve natural and aesthetic dorsal lines. The use of various new instruments is also shown. Complete details of finesse rib grafting for secondary reconstruction are fully demonstrated in three cases, especially including Dr. Robotti’s SPF (Sandwich of Perichondrium and rectus Fascia) and SPLF (Sandwich of Perichondrium, rib Lamina, and rectus Fascia) techniques for precise and aesthetic dorsal reconstruction. Dr. Robotti’s comments throughout the surgeries and Q&A between surgeon and audience enhance the educational value of this video collection.
