The value of spreader grafts in rhinoplasty: a critical review
The value of spreader grafts in rhinoplasty cannot be underestimated. Various studies have demonstrated that they play a valuable role in the restoration of nasal dorsum aesthetics, provide support for the nasal valve and maintain the straightened position of the corrected deviated cartilaginous septal dorsum. However, there is still controversy on the extent of its value in nasal patency. This study reviews the literature and describes the values and limitations of spreader grafts in rhinoplasty and the alternatives to classic spreader grafts

Rinoplastia do nariz negróide por via intra-oral sem ressecções externas: avaliação da eficácia da técnica Negroid nose's rinoplasty through intra-oral approach without external excisions: evaluation of the efficiency of the technique
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a eficácia da técnica de redução da largura da base nasal do nariz negróide, modificando a inclinação dos eixos das narinas pela mobilização de tecidos internos, por abordagem intra-oral, evitando cicatrizes externas. MÉTODOS: Foram operadas 11 pacientes adulta do sexo feminino, com idade variando entre 19 a 45 anos, distribuindo-se em 2 da raça caucasóide e 9 da raça negróide, sendo desta 5 de cor parda e 4 de cor negra. O método de fotografia foi padronizado, e as imagens em papel foram digitalizadas. Por meio de software foram mensurados nas fotografias pré-operatórias e com 3 meses após a rinoplastia, 8 Ãndices relativos à base nasal baseados em pontos antropométricos. Os valores obtidos foram submetidos à análise estatÃstica descritiva e inferencial. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante em 7 Ãndices relativos a redução da largura da base nasal e à inclinação dos eixos das narinas. Apenas houve alteração significante no aumento do Ângulo Nasolabial (p=0,001). CONCLUSÃO: A técnica de rinoplastia de nariz negróide por via intra-oral sem ressecções externas, apenas com mobilização dos tecidos internos, não é eficaz para a reduzir a largura da base nasal.<br>OBJECTIVE: To evaluate effectiveness of the technique of reduction of the width of the nasal base of negroid nose, modifying the inclination of the axes of the nostrils for the mobilization of internal tissues, through intra-oral approach, avoiding external scars. METHODS: Eleven adult female patients were operated with age varying between 19 to 45 years old, being distributed in 2 of the Caucasoid race and 9 of negroid race, being of this 5 brown color and 4 of black color. The picture method was standardized, and images in paper were digitized. Through software they were measured in the pre-operative pictures and with 3 months after the rhinoplasty. 8 relative indexes to the nasal base based on anthropometrics points. The obtained values were submitted to statistically descriptive analysis. RESULTS: No significant statistically differences were found in seven of these features, relative reduction of the width of the nasal base and the variation in the axis of the nostrils inclinations. Just one significant alteration found, an increased in the nasal labial angle (p=0,001). CONCLUSION: The technique of rhinoplasty of negroid nose through intra-oral approach without external resection, just with mobilization of the internal tissues is not effective to reduce the nasal base
