title: Opening the stenosed nostrill: How I do it.
abstract: Acquired stenosis of the anterior nares can often be a refractory problem. A z-plasty utilizing a cheek flap was used to obtain a one-stage opening of the stenosed nostril in three cases. The procedure obviates the need for prolonged stenting and leaves only an unobtrusive scar.
