Closed approach rhinoplasty including spreader grafting is a viable option in select cases with objective and validated functional improvement. Eur Arch Otorhinolaryngol. Such abnormalities are diagnosed most readily on examining frontal views of the face with noticeable unilateral or bilateral disruption of the brow-tip aesthetic line.
They are generally used as a pair, one on either side of the nasal septum but can also be inserted on one side. 9, 10 The FACE-Q MCID for Satisfaction With Nose, Satisfaction With Nostrils, and Social Functioning scores were estimated to be 11. Costal cartilage graft. 3, 4 Despite the success in treating internal nasal valve narrowing, spreader graft use has been limited by the concern of widening the nasal dorsum and creating an undesirable cosmetic result. The internal nasal valve is important in nasal breathing as this endonasal area has the highest resistance to airflow compared with any other region. 2010) could successfully facilitate adjustment of the distal septum intraoperatively by placement of modified spreader graft interlocked on the convex side on 15 patients 10. 2 Minute Read: The use of nasal spreader grafts cannot be underestimated for their ability to improve chronic nasal congestion. Authors' Contributions. Many patients who present with internal valve collapse have inherently weakened cartilage throughout the nasal framework. More importantly, patients with deviated nose harbor various degrees of airflow obstruction and difficult breathing due to a deviated septum and external nasal anatomy. To better understand why this is, you first have to know precisely what the middle vault refers to in rhinoplasty.
Conclusions and Relevance. If this scar tissue is left intact during revision surgery, this type of spreader graft simultaneously pushes the lateral crura outward while pulling the caudal end of the upper lateral cartilage laterally. Let's look at a real-life example of how a spreader graft can improve collapse of the middle third of the nose. Similar to other spreader grafts, these spreader septal extension grafts are placed between the dorsal septum and the medial edge of the upper lateral cartilage. Arch Facial Plast Surg. A practical approach to rhinoplasty. 19 However, both approaches provide good aesthetic and functional outcomes. 6, 22 Nonetheless, surgeons strive to achieve the most achievable satisfactory results while minimizing the risks of compromising the integrity of the nose. Spreader grafts are generally used to correct functional breathing problems by opening up the internal nasal valve in the nose's middle vault region above the nasal tip cartilages and below the nasal bones (Fig. Data analyses of the pre- and postoperative cross-sectional area measurements, as well as change in pre- and postoperative cross-sectional area measurements, were performed using Mann-Whitney U test with IBM SPSS version 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, N. Y.
Her 13 month post-operative photograph on the right shows how spreader graft placement created a much more symmetric, straighter appearing nose. It is an extensive surgical procedure that requires anesthesia and adequate recovery time. If the angle at the internal valve's junction is less than optimal, it can increase airflow resistance and lead to an increase in nasal obstruction. Today's post is the next in our series in which we discuss how functional rhinoplasty surgery can be used to create a surgical breathe right strip effect. The incision was continued intranasally through an infra-cartilaginous incision. Pawar SS, Garcia GJ, Kimbell JS, et al. P., The deviated nose. If the patient notes an appreciable improvement in breathing with this maneuver, the Cottle sign is positive.
If there is an abnormal contour involving the middle vault of the nose, the brow-tip esthetic line can be easily disrupted since the middle vault comprises the entire mid section of this imaginary curve. The implantation of spreader grafts prevents collapse of the upper lateral cartilage and difficult nose breathing. The most common reason for the placement of a spreader graft is to prevent mid-nasal collapse and improve breathing functions, especially for patients with internal nasal valve narrowing or chronic nasal congestion. Yoo DB, Jen A. Endonasal placement of spreader grafts: experience in 41 consecutive patients. 3%), and unknown ethnicity (n = 1, 3/3%). Furthermore, it is difficult to isolate the effects of spreader grafting with respect to concomitantly performed turbinectomy and septoplasty procedures; however, with acoustic rhinometry, the authors have attempted 1 method of data collection specific to the internal nasal valve. A spreader graft can result in dramatic changes when a nose is collapsed or twisted.
Dynamic narrowing within the middle third with inspiration indicates excessively compliant upper lateral cartilages and implies internal valve dysfunction. This important relationship contributes significantly to the brow-tip aesthetic line as seen on frontal view of the nose. The goal of this type of graft is to spread the lateral crura sufficiently to correct the alar collapse but not so much as to detract from desirable aesthetic proportions. To re-familiarize yourself with some of the related surface anatomy of the nose, refer back to our online rhinoplasty tutorial on nasal analysis. In rhinoplasty patients with thin skin, they should be aware that a spreader graft will likely passively create a wider middle vault that may be noticeable following surgery. However, 42 patients did complete 12-month surveys, and 57 patients completed 6-month surveys.
To improve the airway at the nasal valve. 6] See the image below. The frequency of surgical maneuvers during open rhinoplasty. 5] While the patient inspires quietly, the cheek is pulled laterally, thus simulating widening the cross-sectional area of the internal nasal valve. GROUP A (%)||GROUP B (%)|. A spreader graft may be useful during a variety of rhinoplasty procedures, including the following: When a hump is removed, a spreader graft is used to strengthen and support the middle third of the nose. The placement of the graft pushes the side of the nose outwards, helping to restore a more aesthetically pleasing brow-tip line. Descriptive statistics for patient characteristics are reported as a count or as a proportion of the overall patient cohort and subgroups of open or closed rhinoplasty with spreader grafting. Those with cosmetic nasal defects such as the inverted V deformity mentioned above, or crooked dorsums are often good candidates for spreader grafts. If bilateral spreader grafts are being placed, they are done in a very similar fashion. FACE-Q Satisfaction with Nose and Satisfaction With Nostrils scores were significantly improved from baseline at time of last follow-up and at the 2-, 4-, 6- and 12-month follow-up time points, with stability in follow-up scores over time.
Following vasoconstriction and marginal incisions, the nasal skin envelope was elevated. 1) at the internal nasal valve area. D., A double-layered, stepped spreader graft for the deviated nose. The deviation angles of the C-type crooked nose were measured as follows: first, the vertical midline plane from the glabella (A) to the middle point of the upper lip (D) was determined, then the nasion (B) and nasal tip (C) were marked on this vertical midline plane of the face, later, the most prominent point of the convexity (E) was determined.
If this angulation is less than the desired 10-15 degrees, it can be increased by placing a segment of cartilage between the upper lateral cartilage and dorsal septum. 2 Spreader grafts have previously been found to be associated with improved NAO that is caused by narrowing of the internal nasal valve, and this finding is again demonstrated in the present study by the significant improvement in NOSE scores following FSRP with spreader graft placement. Like it or not, placement of a spreader graft is going to open up the internal nasal valve and technically widen the middle vault at the same time. 3%), polyp resection in 1 (3. Previously we discussed how alar batten grafts and lower lateral crural repositioning can strength and support the external nasal valve. If we place it under the tip we can create length to the nose. Your chosen rhinoplasty specialist should have a deep understanding of the internal nasal valve to avoid a poor outcome. In many patients, the functional impairment or dorsal contour is different on each side of the nose, owing to asymmetry of the relationship between the upper lateral cartilage and the dorsal septum. Location: Newport Beach, Ca. Competing Interests. Dorsal reduction with a pull rasp and cartilaginous reduction was then performed. Study patients had either unilateral or bilateral internal nasal valve dysfunction resulting in chronic nasal obstruction, relieved using the Cottle maneuver. A composite skin-cartilage spreader graft has been described that anatomically corrects this combined mucosal scarring and cartilaginous collapse.
Forty-two patients had both preoperative and 12-month postoperative data. Spreader grafts are small strips of cartilage (like sticks) or bone which are inserted next to the nasal septum on the dorsum (top) of the nose. All patients were followed up for a mean duration of 18 months (ranged from 8 to 36 months). One factor that should be carefully assessed is childhood nasal trauma, which could mistakenly be grouped into the congenital abnormality population. At this stage, the septum was carefully inspected to determine the exact cause of the septal deviation. More improvement is noted in function with wider grafts. This widens the middle part of the nose ever so slightly, more on the inside than the outside. 7, 13 The newly developed FACE-Q scales offer an important adjunct to surgical outcomes testing. So you can improve the nasal function with a spreader graft without causing the nose to look excessively wide in patients with thick skin. Inclusion criteria entailed patients older than 18 years of age of any race or gender who presented with cosmetic concerns for changing the appearance of the nose or functional nasal obstruction for more than 1 year. At the same time, the cheek is pulled out to the side, thus manually opening the internal nasal valve. MeaningDespite concerns that spreader grafts have a negative aesthetic effect, the significant postoperative cosmetic improvements reported by the patients in this study after spreader graft septorhinoplasty suggest that this might be a viable technique for treatment of nasal valve dysfunction.
Costal cartilages are less often harvested due to the potential risk of pneumothorax. At 12-month follow-up, the DFC group demonstrated both a statistically and clinically significant improvement in FACE-Q Social Functioning score (Table 2), while the combined DFC and FSRP group and FSRP only group had neither a statistically or clinically significant change (Figure 3). In many cases, it is necessary to layer two or more pieces of cartilage together in order to create a sufficiently robust spreader graft. We offer: Rhinoplasty (Nose Jobs). Spreader Graft Placement For Nasal Function. However, it can take up to a full year before swelling is gone entirely. First, a major concern that both patients and surgeons have with spreader graft placement is widening of the nasal dorsum. The functional and aesthetic outcome was then determined. If you remember from our rhinoplasty tutorial on nasal analysis, the front view of the nose should demonstrate two fairly equal brow-tip esthetic lines – imaginary curvilinear shadows seen when looking directly at the nose.
Within the open cohort, there were 4 unilateral (2 left sided and 2 right sided) and 4 bilateral spreader graft insertions. The spreader grafts open the internal nasal valve, which is actually the narrowest part of the airway. Prior nasal trauma accounted for 42. External approach for secondary rhinoplasty: advances over the past 25 years. Functional septorhinoplasty (FSRP) is frequently performed to straighten the septum and correct NVD. Reportedly, changes in the nasal valve of as little as 1 mm may result in significantly improved nasal valve function.
