Abstract

A 58-year-old man was referred to the Rhinology clinic after having a septoplasty, which failed to improve his nasal obstruction. On examination, there was no significant residual septal deviation, but on dynamic assessment, there was a marked collapse of the lateral nasal wall on inspiration. The patient consented for alar batten surgery and inferior turbinate reduction. It was made clear during the consenting process that his nose may look different, because of the insertion of the grafts. The patient had an uneventful recovery and was pleased with the outcome.
