title: [Structural grafts and suture techniques in functional and aesthetic rhinoplasty surgery].
abstract: Rhinoplasty has undergone important changes. With the advent of the open structure approach, requirements for structural grafting and suture techniques have increased substantially. The present review analyzes the current literature on frequently referenced structural grafts and suture techniques. Individual techniques are described and their utility is discussed and critically reviewed in light of available data.
