Indications, Stability, and Surgical Outcomes of Using Osteochondral Nasal Septal Graft as a Septal Extension Graft in Rhinoplasty Patients: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Septal extension graft (SEG) is an adaptable tool that controls, supports, and stabilizes the nasal tip projection, rotation, length, and shape. Recent studies comparing SEGs to more conventional columellar strut grafts found that SEGs provided improved results. This prospective cohort study included 66 patients divided into 2 groups based on their indications.

A Novel Technique for Spreader Flap by Folding the Dorsal Hump in Patients Undergoing Primary Rhinoplasty.

Objectives: We describe our novel modified spreader flap, which involves keeping the large cartilaginous septal T hump attached to the upper lateral cartilages to increase the thickness and length of the flap. Our objectives were to assess hump reduction and recurrence, nasal axis deviation, dorsal width, internal nasal valve grade, and Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE) score preoperatively and one year postoperatively.

Materials And Methods: In a prospective study that included 21 patients who met the criteria, patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery, with an assessment of the dorsal projection, tip projection, axis deviation, dorsal width, and internal nasal valve grade.
