Abstract
|
|
|
|
Nasal valve collapse due to lateral nasal wall incompetence hinders the quality of life of patients. It can also cause cosmetic problems, leading patients to seek surgical treatment. Nasal valve collapse is caused by an interruption of the systematic relationships between the septal cartilage, inferior turbinate, and upper and lower lateral cartilage. In particular, when solving problems with the upper and lower later cartilage, the alar batten graft is considered an important surgical method. Herein, we present an example of patients with lateral nasal wall incompetence and the detailed surgical method of the applied alar batten graft to solve this problem. There were no significant adverse effects, and the operator and the patients were satisfied with the functional and cosmetic results.
