Abstract
SummaryCorrection of any closed ostium following either burns or any other trauma by release and split skin grafting is not very successful in the long run because of restenosis of the ostium by contraction of the graft. It is very difficult to maintain the patency by any kind of prosthesis. For this reason we have devised a new technique called ‘starplasty’, which is simple and effective in opening occluded external nares without any chances of restenosis.
