The authors consider the nasal valve as an atomic particularity of the nose and its physiology. The nasal valve is formed by the caudal edge of the lateral cartilage and the septal cartilage. Each mutation in it leads to dyspnoea. The authors sugest operative methods for treatment of nasal valve's defects.

Chondrocutaneous Custom-made Graft for Upper Lateral and Alar Cartilage Nose Reconstruction: The T Graft.

Arch Plast Surg

January 2025

Department of Experimental and Clinical Medicine, Clinic of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Marche Polytechnic University Medical School, Ancona, Italy.

Upper lateral cartilage and alar cartilage nose reconstruction secondary to failed aesthetic procedure or tumor excision, surely represents a reconstructive challenge for plastic surgeons, because of the support needed and for the function of the internal nasal valve (INV). Several scientific publications deal with internal nasal reconstructive techniques, including simple homologous or heterologous tissue grafts. We describe a new hybrid chondrocutaneous graft used for reconstruction of the upper lateral cartilage and a portion of the alar cartilage (cephalic part), excised with the adherent nasal mucosa (in correspondence with INV), included in the tumor mass.

January 2025

Division of Facial Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, USA. Electronic address:

Nasal obstruction is often a multifactorial problem, attributable to physiologic and anatomic processes. Nasal valve compromise may be static or dynamic in nature. Successful diagnostic evaluation rests on a comprehensive history and physical examination.
