Alar (external valve) collapse may be iatrogenic or can occur as a consequence of ageing or
trauma. We have utilized an autogenous cartilage graft inserted as an underlay graft to the …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Nasal valve collapse was established by documenting nasal
obstruction from the medial deflection of the caudal border of the upper lateral cartilage that …

Objective: To determine the efficacy of the upper lateral caudal edge management in
treating patients with inner nasal valve insufficiency and collapse. Design: This was a …

Collapse of the nasal valve is a rare cause of nasal obstruction in Asians, though it is
relatively common in Caucasians. The thick skin and wide internal nasal valve angle were …

Collapse of the nasal vestibule during inspiration is a frequently encountered symptom,
often caused by weak or medially displaced lateral crura in the lower lateral cartilages …

The nasal valve spans a minimal cross sectional area of the intake point inside the nose.
Acting as a Starling's resistor, it plays a pivotal role in controlling the inspiratory airflow …

Herein, I describe lateral crural setback with cephalic turn-in flap as a new technique for
management of the drooping nose. I report a technique for reinforcement of the alar cartilage …

Objectives: In clinical practice, lateral nasal wall collapse during forced inspiration is widely
regarded as a sign of nasal obstruction or criterion indicating nasal valve surgery. This study …

The internal nasal valve (INV) refers to the slit-like region between the caudal end of the
upper lateral cartilage (ULC) and the nasal septum. It is the narrowest portion and primary …

Nasal obstruction is a prevalent issue that significantly impacts patient quality of life and
contributes to a large-scale financial burden. Internal or external nasal valve collapse may …
