Abstract

The ideal procedure to correct nasal obstruction in persons with external nasal deformity by comparing two techniques of rhinoplasty i.e. open technique and endoscopic technique is of interest. Hence, a prospective study was done for a period of one and half year and a total of 50 patients who underwent rhinoplasty procedures with various pathologies were evaluated. The most common pathology identified was deviated nasal septum (DNS) with external deformity and the most common symptom was nasal obstruction. Endonasal/closed technique was done in Group A and Group B patients underwent open rhinoplasty technique, with septal cartilage being the most commonly used graft in both the techniques. Both external and closed techniques are giving almost equal results in both functional and aesthetic aspects with minimal complications and the outcome was highly depended on the skillset of the surgeon.
