Functional-aesthetic rhinoplasty can be performed using either an open or closed (endonasal) approach. While many surgeons prefer open rhinoplasty as this provides improved visibility of the anatomical structures involved, it is not necessary in every case. For patients with thin skin, moderate dorsal deformities or less complex nasal tip deformities, closed rhinoplasty offers clear benefits: with intranasal approach, there is no external scarring and the soft tissue integrity is largely preserved. This contributes to an aesthetically pleasing result and supports fast healing by retaining the natural tissue architecture.

In recent years, the core philosophy of rhinoplasty has evolved from destructive resection to less invasive preservation techniques. Despite this shift, open rhinoplasty retains its relevance by enabling precise visualisation and modification of nasal structures via the transcolumellar approach. However, with its reliance on larger incisions and associated soft tissue trauma the method is not compatible with the principles of minimally invasive surgery.

The new Lara XXL sterilizer impresses in everyday practice with its maximum capacity and minimal dimensions. With its 38-litre chamber, the device offers maximum space and is therefore the largest sterilizer from the medical technology manufacturer W&H. However, the new product not only impresses with its spaciousness, but also with its high loading flexibility, simple navigation and many other advantages.
