Nasal airway obstruction is a frequent complaint in an otolaryngology clinic and is often multifactorial. Anatomic contributors may include a nasal septal deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal valve compromise. Septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction are one of the most common procedures performed by an otolaryngologist.

The internal nasal valve, the narrowest portion of the nasal airway, is prone to collapse and is often targeted for improvement in nasal reconstruction and rhinoplasty. Endonasal techniques can reduce surrounding trauma and reduce operative times compared to traditional open methods. Options include the use of spreader, butterfly and alar batten grafts, suspension and flaring sutures, and Z-plasty for scarring.

The external nasal valve is the anatomic structure formed by the caudal septum, alar rim, medial crura of the lower lateral cartilage, and nasal sill at the level of the nasal vestibule. Evaluation of external nasal valve dysfunction is dependent upon a thorough history and physical examination. Symptoms and quality of life impact are the main drivers for patients to seek out clinical evaluation.

Objective: To compare preoperative and postoperative cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the external nares and nasal vestibule on computed tomography (CT) transverse sections in brachycephalic dogs that underwent a vestibuloplasty in combination with either a Trader's technique or vertical wedge resection rhinoplasty.
Methods: Medical records and corresponding preoperative and postoperative head computed tomographic images were reviewed to measure CSA at two defined points on transverse sections of the nasal cavities.
Results: Nine brachycephalic dogs were included for analysis.

Background: Alar nostril ring correction in patients with multiple prior surgeries is one of the most challenging procedures in reconstructive rhinoplasty. Assessing patient satisfaction and the technique's failure rate is essential in evaluating its effectiveness.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the outcomes of alar nostril ring correction using auricular composite grafts (ACGs) in patients with severe post-rhinoplasty deformities from multiple previous surgeries.
