Abstract

Loss of nasal skeletal support, whether congenital, following trauma or secondary to multiple failed surgeries, calls for reconstruction aiming at restoring rigid dorsal stability, maintaining tip projection, and restoring respiratory function. Where septal and conchal grafts are inadequate to be used as building blocks, our procedure of choice has been the cantilever osseocartilagenous rib graft with microscrew fixation. In the past 10 years, 48 patients were candidates for this salvage procedure. Long-term functional and cosmetic results have been highly satisfactory.
