To reconstruct the airways in the case of serious nasoseptal deviation it is preferable to remove the cartilaginous septum, reshape it, and put it back. This may be done through an open rhinoplasty approach with a transcolumellar scar resulting in wide visual access to the septal structures. As the transcolumellar scar may give problems in some cases, it might be helpful to use an extended paramarginal incision. A traditional open rhinoplasty approach was used in eight patients and the extended paramarginal incision technique in 19 patients. Two of the eight patients who had the open rhinoplasty technique developed unsatisfactory transcolumellar scars. Of the 19 patients who had paramarginal incisions no patient developed late problems. The paramarginal approach was superior to the traditional open rhinoplasty approach despite the slightly better visualisation with open rhinoplasty.
