13 Nasogastric tube insertion: A novel approach for head and neck patients

Abstract

post operative photographs were analysed for symmetry, alar base width, nasal tip position and septal deviation in a frontal view and worms eye view. We also carried out VAS scoring amongst 5 clinicians to see if the residual asymmetry, if present was nil (0), mild (1) – severe (5). Results and Conclusions: We present the results for our study and discuss the pitfalls in treating this complex group of patients.
