Extracorporeal septoplasty is a radical solution for the severely deviated nose. The major problems associated with this procedure are fixation of the septal cartilage graft and dorsal irregularities. Extracorporeal septoplasty was performed in combination with open rhinoplasty in 17 patients with severe nasal deformities. In this technique septum was totally removed through the columellar incision of open rhinoplasty, corrected outside, and replaced as a free "L" shaped cartilage graft. The cartilage graft was fixated to the upper lateral cartilages to restore the natural relations of the anatomical structures. Additional rhinoplastic manipulations were also performed. The follow-up period was up to 18 months. The overall result was successful in all patients. Nasal deviation did not recur and secondary revisions were not needed for any patient during follow-up.
