title: [Surgical correction of saddle nose. Apropos of 23 cases].
abstract: Choice of graft for repair of a saddle nose in 23 patients, usually late sequelae of nasal fracture, varied with degree of concavity : moderate anomalies usually by cartilaginous graft, major lesions by iliac bone graft. Postoperative course was always simple. The Rethi approach was used when a bone graft was necessary, with a minimum esthetic ransom, and a skin flap of V-Y advancement at the expense of the white labrum when there was insufficiency of columellar height. Although results were assessed as satisfactory by the patients, the difficulties in obtaining excellent results in this type of rhinoplasty are emphasized, imperfections being frequent : filling of nasofrontal angle, asymmetry of naries orifices and fixed nose appearance.
