Postoperative Edema and Ecchymosis Data for Septorhinoplasty Patients

A retrospective cohort study evaluating the effects of nurse-delivered lymphatic skin massage education on postoperative outcomes. The dataset, created by Fulya Bozdemir Çakıcı and last updated in April 2026, compares patients who adhered to a massage protocol with those who did not. It is a 15.5 KB Excel file available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Compare postoperative edema levels between patient groups based on massage protocol adherence.
• Analyze the relationship between lymphatic massage education and ecchymosis reduction.
• Investigate the effect of nursing intervention on postoperative pain management.
• Train predictive models for recovery outcomes using patient adherence data.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (15.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.
• The study design (retrospective cohort) is clearly stated in the description.

Limitations
