Introduction: Rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that is typically performed by either otolaryngologists (ENTs) or plastic surgeons. This study specifically investigates the association between surgical specialty and complications in rhinoplasty.

Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database was retrospectively queried for patients who underwent rhinoplasty between 2005 and 2018. Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to determine associations between surgical specialty and postoperative complications.

Results: 1,875 patients undergoing rhinoplasty were queried. Of the cohort, 1,077 (57.4%) were operated on by ENT and 798 (42.6%) were operated on by plastic surgeons. ENT patients were more likely to be male, have a higher ASA classification, and more likely to be smokers (20.9% vs 15.2%, p=0.002). Univariate analysis also showed a significantly lower incidence of sepsis (0.1% vs 0.9%, p=0.002) and higher incidence of readmission (6.2% vs 3.7%, p=0.032) among ENT patients. Multivariable analyses revealed no significant difference in the development of postoperative complications between plastics and ENT patients.

Conclusions: Surgical specialty has been shown to impact outcomes of other head and neck procedures. However, this study does not suggest an association between surgical specialty and postoperative complications in rhinoplasty.
