Abstract

Objectives: Neck pain is a prevalent occupational health issue among surgeons, particularly those performing long-duration or posture-intensive procedures. This study investigates the potential association between the practice of rhinoplasty and the prevalence of neck pain among otorhinolaryngologists.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 241 otorhinolaryngologists who attended the 9th ENT Meeting and 28th International Rhinocamp Congress. The questionnaire, designed by the researchers, included questions on demographics, engagement in rhinoplasty procedures, years of surgical experience, presence and severity of cervical region discomfort, related hospitalizations or surgeries, and MRI-confirmed neck pathologies (eg, disc bulging, protrusion). Responses were analyzed to determine associations between rhinoplasty practice and neck pain.

Results: Of the participants, 40.6% (n=98) were female and 59.4% (n=143) were male. Overall, 62.6% (n=151) reported experiencing neck pain. The prevalence of neck pain was higher among surgeons performing rhinoplasty (71.0%, n=86) compared with those who did not (54.1%, n=65), with a statistically significant association (χ²=4.215; P=0.037). Moreover, a significant correlation was found between years of performing rhinoplasty and the frequency of neck pain (P=0.001).

Conclusions: Neck pain is common among otorhinolaryngologists, especially those regularly performing rhinoplasty. Interventions such as ergonomic training, physical exercise, and proper surgical posture may reduce the risk of cervical musculoskeletal disorders and improve occupational well-being.

Level of evidence: Level IV.

鼻整形和颈部疼痛:耳鼻喉科医生的患病率和影响因素。
目的:颈部疼痛是外科医生中普遍存在的职业健康问题,特别是那些进行长时间或姿势密集手术的外科医生。本研究旨在探讨鼻整形手术与耳鼻喉科医师颈部疼痛发生率之间的潜在关联。方法:对参加第9届耳鼻喉科会议和第28届国际Rhinocamp大会的241名耳鼻喉科医师进行横断面调查。调查问卷由研究人员设计,问题包括人口统计学、参与鼻整形手术、手术年限、颈部不适的存在和严重程度、相关住院或手术、mri确认的颈部病变(如椎间盘突出、突出)。对反应进行分析,以确定鼻整形手术与颈部疼痛之间的关系。结果:女性占40.6% (n=98),男性占59.4% (n=143)。总体而言,62.6% (n=151)的患者报告颈部疼痛。进行鼻整形手术的患者颈痛患病率(71.0%,n=86)高于未进行鼻整形的患者(54.1%,n=65),差异有统计学意义(χ²=4.215;P = 0.037)。此外,进行鼻整形手术的年数与颈部疼痛的频率之间存在显著相关性(P=0.001)。结论:颈痛在耳鼻喉科医生中很常见,尤其是那些经常做鼻整形手术的医生。人体工程学训练、体育锻炼和适当的手术姿势等干预措施可以降低颈椎肌肉骨骼疾病的风险,改善职业健康。证据等级:四级。

期刊介绍: ​The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery serves as a forum of communication for all those involved in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Coverage ranges from practical aspects of craniofacial surgery to the basic science that underlies surgical practice. The journal publishes original articles, scientific reviews, editorials and invited commentary, abstracts and selected articles from international journals, and occasional international bibliographies in craniofacial surgery.
