The spreader (or autospreader) flap offers an alternative to the traditional spreader graft in reconstructing the dorsal midvault and preserving internal valve function. This is of particular importance after an aggressive dorsal hump reduction, which has the potential to result in an inverted-V deformity, dorsal narrowing, or saddle-nose deformity. In this article, the authors describe a four-step spreader flap technique that offers a simple, reproducible method of shaping the dorsal midvault while preserving internal valve function.

Background: Hump removal frequently results in an open roof during rhinoplasty, which is conventionally closed with lateral osteotomies. However, if the patient has a narrow bony vault, lateral osteotomies are problematic. In this article, the author presents a new and practical approach to fix the open roof deformity.

Snoring is traditionally considered more of a social nuisance than disease. The observation that nasal obstruction may modify breathing during sleep and daytime behavior and our clinical observations suggesting that some single snorer patients who had undergone surgery of the nasal valve for nasal obstruction complaints had presented a decrease in their snoring, led us to make a retrospective study on twenty nine patients. Eight of them were simple snorers.
