Abstract
Purpose:
To investigate the benefit of preoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting early postoperative periorbital edema and ecchymosis in patients undergoing primary septorhinoplasty.
Methods:
Sixty patients in ASA-I (American Society of Anesthesiologists) who were scheduled for elective primary septorhinoplasty were prospectively included in the study. Periorbital edema and ecchymosis levels of the patients were scored on the postoperative second day. The relationship between early postoperative periorbital edema and ecchymosis levels and preoperative neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, NLR, and PLR values were investigated.
Results:
The mean age of the 60 patients was 24.05 ± 6.83 years. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the total periorbital edema scores in both eyes on the second day after surgery. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of neutrophil, platelet, and NLR (P > 0.05). In addition, the lymphocyte count was found to be statistically significantly lower and PLR significantly higher in the group with high edema scores (P < 0.05). When the patients were divided into groups according to their periorbital ecchymosis scores, no significant correlation was found between any blood values and periorbital ecchymosis (P > 0.05).
Conclusion:
Preoperative PLR may be used to predict early postoperative periorbital edema in patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty. However, a blood value that can predict periorbital ecchymosis has not been determined yet.
