Most important problems considering the choice of reconstructive technique, besides underlying pathology and expected result, include: long-ter m stability, donor morbidity, tendency to infection and extrusion of the implant and its resorption. The use of lateral crura of lower lateral cartilages used as dorsal onlay was reserved for the corrections of minor supratip depressions (flying wing and a l ar swing procedure). The authors suggest the use of pedicled flaps of cephalic portions of lateral crura as dorsal septal strut, which may increase the profile line more than dorsal onlay. Reconstruction is performed using open rhinoplasty approach. Pedi c led flaps of the cephalic portions of lateral crura are transfixed in the sagittal plane and, following separation of upper lateral cartilages and medial crura, placed on the dorsum of nasal septum. Upper laterals are suttured to newly formed cartilagine ous dorsum, or a new bridge is created using conchal cartilage. Columellar strut may be formed of the septal cartilage. Authors have performed such corrections in 15 patients with good long-term functional and aesthetic results. \par \par Key words: saddle nose, nasal reconstruction, alar swing technique\page Recontouring of the nasal profile in a saddle nose involves the use of }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 different augmentation materials used as dorsal implants }{ \f0\fs24\expnd8\expndtw41 (1)}{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 .

Dorsal improvement in }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-11 such patients is usually achieved by dorsal onlay }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw1 grafts, combined with collumelar strut, or L-profile graft.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-11 As such }{\f0\fs24 grafting may not help nasal valve function, the idea of increasing the dorsal projection of cartilaginous septum with intraseptal dorsal strut seemed to off er better nasal breathing. This paper outlines a method which involves the use of lateral crura in dorsal recontouring. A modification to the flying wing or alar swing procedure is the use of cephalic portion of both lateral crura as a pedicled flap for t he dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-11 intraseptal implant placed in the sagittal plain, not the dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw3 onlay.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-11 The main functional advantage }{\f0\fs24 of this technique is that the dorsal strut inserted intraseptally builds }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-13 the profile line increasing the septal dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw3 projection,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-13 imitating the }{ \f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 effect achieved by the push-up of the septal }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-2 cartilage, }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 in order to correct the nasal valve collapse.}{\f0\fs24 \par }{\f0\fs24\expnd-3\expndtw-15 Technique}{\f0\fs24 \par The use of this reconstructive technique is indicated when poor nasal valve function is resulting from the loss of support by the anterior porti on of quadrangular cartilage in patients with previously overresected cartilaginous septum, patients with minor septal perforations, or patients with poorquality of septal cartilage for the septal push-up technique. The selection of patients for the pres ented method is restricted to those who have intact and well developed lower lateral cartilages.

Unfortunately, }{\f0\fs24 preoperative planning cannot always adequately estimate the condition of nasal cartilages, due to scaring and retra ction, so the patients are preoperatively informed that a piece of conchal cartilage may be needed for the reconstruction. Columellar incision is V-shaped and followed by the marginal and circumferential incisions. Lower lateral cartilages are fully expos ed to their posterior and cephalic margin, and with the exposure of }{\f0\fs24\expnd-3\expndtw-16 ULC, which are usually retracted inferiorly, the }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 periosteoperichondrial flap is formed }{\f0\fs24\expnd6\expndtw31 (10)}{ \f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 . }{\f0\fs24 Medial crura and ULC are carefully separated and the remnant of the septal cartilage and bone is exposed by elevating mucoperichondrial }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-13 flaps on both }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-1 sides. }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-13 At least }{\f0\fs24\expnd6\expndtw30 0,5}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-13 cm of septal dorsum should be exposed }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 caudally, to be fixed to the dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw4 strut.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 This preparation should be very }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-1 careful, }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 as it usually goes through a }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw5 scar.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 The preparation goes to the rhinion cephalad. Incisions of the lateral crura }{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 are carried out from the alar elbow to the dome}{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-12 of the lateral crura (Fig 1.).}{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-1\charscalex91 }{ \f0\fs24\charscalex91 The flaps are carefully elevated from the vestibular skin and following elvation, cephalic strips of the lateral crura are rotated medially (external side }{\f0\fs24\expnd5\expndtw25\charscalex91 in)}{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 , transfixed together with three to four 4-0 nylon sutures in the sagittal plane and inserted intraseptally. Depending on the flap dimension and the }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-1\charscalex91 intraseptal material }{\f0\fs24\expnd4\expndtw23\charscalex91 left,}{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-1\charscalex91 the flap is fixed to the septal remnant. }{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 Following intraseptal reconstruction and positioning of the dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd3\expndtw18\charscalex91 flap, }{ \f0\fs24\charscalex91 triangular cartilages are fixed both to the flap and together over the newly formed cartilaginous septal dorsum, if }{\f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw11\charscalex91 possible.}{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 When triangular cartilages are so retracted that this procedure is not }{\f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw11\charscalex91 possible,}{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 a conchal cartilage graft is sutured to the triangular cartilages to make a bridge over the newly formed cartilaginous dorsum, or transfixed over the ULC like in Stucker tech nique (but not through the skin). Such manouver is helpful in correction of nasal valve colapse.(11) Another cartilage strut is sutured between the medial crura to correct columellar retraction. Medial crura are then transfixed close to the dome with a fe w 4-0 Vicryl intracrural and intradomal sutures. Narrowing of the bony pyramid can be achieved with oblique paramedian and lateral osteotomies, and the the bony hump reduction is performed previously, if needed. A 5-0 nylon is used for incisions closure a nd a light nasal }{\f0\fs24\expnd0\expndtw-3\charscalex91 packing is introduced. Patients receive single dose of }{\f0\fs24\expnd11\expndtw55\charscalex91 iv}{\f0\fs24\charscalex91 cephalosporine preoperatively, followed by 5 days of oral cephalosporine postoperatively. Packing is left in place for 3 days and the splint for }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-9\charscalex91 5 days. \par \par }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-7 Discussion}{\f0\fs24 \par We have operated 15 patients (11 male, 4 female) with this method in 11 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 years }{\f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw10 period.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 Twelve of the patients were previously operated, two had }{\f0\fs24 a septal abscess in the childhood and one had recent septal abscess. Our longest follow-up is longer than five years }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 in 5 }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw6 patients.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 They had a stable reconstruction, good profile line }{\f0\fs24 and significantly improved respiratory function. Most of the patients were lost after 6 months to 2 years follow-up. They had no complaints of nasal obstruction and their profile was im proved while observed. Some patients complained of feeling tension in the tip area for first 12 weeks.The problem }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 we have noticed was relatively overprojected tip in 2 }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw8 patients,}{\f0\fs24 }{ \f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 and }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 transitional dorsal swelling in one }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw8 patient,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 who had a conchal implant }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 over the ULC}{ \f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw5 .}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 The method presented, following a }{\f0\fs24 proper patients' selection, offers better nasal breathing, dorsal improvement, increased tip projection and correction of retracted }{ \f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 columella. The advantage over the existing techniques is less donor morbidity (calvaria, crista illiaca or rib), no danger of displacement (L-profile of rib cartilage) and no tendency of infection and extrusion (allografts). }{ \f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw8 Still,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 it does not build a strong }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw5 profile,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 and it can be used }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 for the correction of mild to moderate supratip depressions. }{\f0\fs24 Problems following dorsal recontouring with camouflage grafting depend on the positioning and fixing the implant, its partial resorption or displacement. Conchal cartilage onlays may be helpful in correcting nasal valve colapse (11), but the supratip correction is minor than with our technique, but is helpful when both procedures are combined. Advancing of L-profile dorsocolumellar strut from posterior septal region is the best solution from the functional standpoint, if adequate material is available. As limits of the septal push-up technique are often present in candidates for the revision }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 septoplasty after abundant septal }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw5 resection,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 the technique presented has }{\f0\fs24 overcome some functional problems following augmentation with dorsal implants. Our technique was created to improve nasal respiratory function, and sometimes, in minor corrections, it is used without any }{ \f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 other }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw8 grafting,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-6 even in patients with very little cartilage left }{\f0\fs24 intraseptally. The resection of cephalic flap of the lateral crura in }{ \f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 our patients has created not only the dorsal }{\f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw11 flap,}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-5 but has helped in narrowing and rotation of the }{\f0\fs24\expnd3\expndtw16 tip and offers stability due to its integration into the nasal tripod structure.}{\f0\fs24 \par Literature: \par }{\i\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-14 1. }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-14 Soss }{\f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw13 TL.}{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-14 Saddle }{\f0\fs24\expnd1\expndtw5 nose.}{\f0\fs24 }{\f0\fs24\expnd-2\expndtw-14 Arch Otolaryngol }{ \f0\fs24\expnd2\expndtw11 1973;98:391-2}{\f0\fs24 \par }{\f0\fs24\expnd-1\expndtw-7 2.
