Spreader Graft and Lateral Crural Overlay Technique in Rhinoplasty

May 13, 2013 updated by: Dr. Amiryousef Ahmadnia, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences

Determine and Compare the Finding of Rhinomanometry Before and After Treatment in Two Ways of Rhinoplasty Surgery (Spreader Graft and Lateral Crural Over Lapping)

Most of the studies performed to compare the present techniques of rhinoplasty have been based on the clinical examination and change of postoperative complaints that cannot be very precise in evaluating the advantages of one technique over another. Therefore, in this study the investigators are going to compare the efficacy of spreader graft and lateral crural overlay techniques by an objective method, rhinomanometry.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Nasal flow
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Rhinomanometry is performed by a technician in two stages: before surgery and three months after surgery. It is performed in line with the standards suggested by the "Committee Report on Standardization of Rhinomanometry". After surgery, patients are monitored for one month and rhinomanometry is performed under the same initial conditions after three months. In both stages of rhinomanometry, nasal resistance means are evaluated by Pascal per milliliter per second (Pa/mL/s) and the right and left and total nasal flow indices are evaluated by milliliter per second (mL/s).
Up to 3 months
