[Correction of saddle nose].
The saddle nose is caused by trauma, inadequate septum resection, or septal abscess. The extramucous method of rhinoplasty offers an ideal and very clear approach to the reconstruction of the cartilaginous septum, to the enlargement of the nasal valve, and thus to the reconstruction of the nasal pyramid. Our aim is, first of all, to use material taken from the nose. If this material cannot be obtained, autogenic cartilage from the rib or allogenic cartilage from the cartilage bank are employed.
