Workup
Laboratory Studies
- Because nearly all of these nasal reconstructive procedures are performed in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia, a barrage of preoperative laboratory testing is rarely (if ever) indicated.
- If the patient's history or examination findings indicate a bleeding tendency, determinations of an intact hemostatic system can be obtained with a platelet count, bleeding time, and prothrombin time/activated partial thromboplastin time. Other laboratory investigations serve little purpose.
