Abstract

Objective: Nasal valve area is an important, functional part of nose and there are several different methods that have been used to enlarge that area for a better breathing function. In this study, the authors aimed to study the efficacy of a new spreader graft modification that was crafted in a triangular shape to enlarge nasal valve area.
