Abstract

The measurement and achievement of improved patient benefit following a particular medical or surgical intervention has become an increasingly relevant part of the provision of effective healthcare.

We have retrospectively analysed patient satisfaction in 56 patients following rhinoplasty via the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI), 25 of whom underwent pre-operative computer imaging planning. We have also audited patient reaction to this technique via a concurrent questionnaire in those subjects who underwent imaging, and correlated this with overall patient outcome.

Patient satisfaction with cosmetic rhinoplasty following computer imaging was significantly improved compared to those patients who did not receive imaging.
