BACKGROUND Nasal valve collapse and especially internal nasal valve insufficiency is a common cause of nasal airway obstruction. This study compares the effects of spreader graft and overlapping lateral crural technique on rhinoplasty by rhinomanometry. METHODS Fifty patients were randomly assigned into two groups and underwent spreader graft or overlapping lateral crural technique. Objectiv...

BACKGROUND Although the assignment and suturing of the spreader graft to the septum is a routine part of rhinoplasty, it is a time wasting procedure and some problems may occur. Rather, autospreader flap is a new method that the dorsal part of the upper lateral cartilage is used as its own graft. In the present study, we intended to compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of these two ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to use porous high-density polyethylene grafts (Medpor) in open rhinoplasty and then assess complication rate and aesthetic outcomes. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, we performed open rhinoplasty and employed Medpor as rhinoplasty grafts. Then we compared their complication rate. RESULTS In a total of 64 patients, 84 Medpor grafts--8 dorsal grafts, ...

aesthetic lines after osteotomies, symmetries of the middle third. It is also used for functional recovery of opening the nasal valve. The evaluation of the results of spreader graft is difficult and subjective. Measuring nasal valve angle is an objectie criteria of functional outcome, the brow tip aesthetic lines referred by Tardy and Sheen are options for aesthetic evaluation. Our common indi...

UNLABELLED A deviated nose is the result of a set of anatomical abnormalities, and for this reason there are many methods for correcting such defects. Therefore we should not use only one single method in all cases of nasal deformities. AIM In this prospective study we propose a new method using a spreader graft on the convex side of the deviated nose. METHODS We performed rhinoplasty in si...
