Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has required changes in health care practices to decrease the risk of disease transmission during the provision of medical care. The risk of transmission is high in procedures involving the nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal tissues. This article describes simple preventative strategies at a single institution to minimize the risk of disease transmission during rhinoplasty procedures. In particular, the utility of povidone-iodine in prophylaxis during the perioperative period is discussed.
