Abstract
Septal deviation presents a considerable challenge in septorhinoplasty because it leads to functional and esthetic problems. This deformity may displace the nasal tip, disturb nasal valve patency, and affect the final outcomes of septorhinoplasty. This report describes an innovative technique that can be used in patients with C-shaped deviation of the septum in a cephalocaudal direction. Because the procedure is similar to carpentering, it was named a “carpenter spreader graft.” In this technique, the deviated dorsal cartilage is separated and displaced to a new straightened position.
