Özet

Reconstruction of the middle third of the nose is crucial and middle vault insufficiency is possible following dorsal reduction in a primary rhinoplasty unless additional surgical measures are taken. The aim of this study was to define a novel suturing technique autospreading spring flap for middle vault reconstruction by suturing only the medial aspect of both upper lateral cartilages with septal quadrangular cartilage in a unique mattress suture and to mimic the natural anatomical configuration of the upper lateral and septal cartilages. This technique is intended to create functionality with aesthetic dorsal lines.
