Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This article reviews the recent literature on functional rhinoplasty for the most important contributions in the field. RECENT FINDINGS: Surgical techniques for improving the internal nasal valve include upper lateral cartilage fold-in flap, splay graft, alar batten graft, Z-plasty, and the alloplastic Monarch implant. The Nasal Obstruction Septoplasty Effectiveness (NOSE) score and the Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation score have been applied to objectify outcomes in functional rhinoplasty. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and rhinoplasty continue to be safely used in the same surgical sitting. SUMMARY: The last few years have seen improved perspective on what surgery can do, substantiating the inherent difficulties of establishing reproducible outcomes in form and function of the nose.
