Abstract
Nasal valve collapse is a challenging, but common, source of nasal obstruction. Many surgical techniques have been described to stabilize the nasal valve, but each has important limitations. Nasal valve stabilization is a new technique that draws on advantages of the nasal valve suspension techniques but minimizes the drawbacks associated with the suspension techniques. The indications, technique, advantages, and disadvantages are described herein.
