Columellar Wound Immediately After Open Rhinoseptoplasty Treated With Application of DuoDERM Extra Thin

Most patients who undergo open rhinoseptoplasty do not develop any wound at the transcolumellar incision site. However, some patients require wound care immediately post-operation. Dressing is difficult to perform in the columellar region because of the location. Here, we report 2 cases of columellar wound as a complication of open rhinoseptoplasty. A patient developed mild wound dehiscence immediately after primary rhinoseptoplasty, whereas another developed partial columellar skin necrosis after the revision operation. We applied DuoDERM Extra Thin dressing (ConvaTec Group, Deeside, UK) for columellar wound and achieved healing. DuoDERM Extra Thin can be a simple and easy dressing material for immediate care of transcolumellar wounds.
