title: [Treatment of complex nose deformities by external approach].
abstract: The authors present thirty patients with complex nasal deformities operated on by external approach. The incision was on the nasal columella. They used bone and cartilage grafts for the correction of the deformities. The external transcolumellar incision provided a good visualization of nasal structures and the columella scar was not a significant problem.
