FAQs
The L-strut, formed by preserved dorsal and caudal septal cartilage, maintains essential support for the nasal dorsum and tip. Protecting these portions helps prevent loss of structural stability that can contribute to postoperative saddle nose deformity. This principle allows surgeons to correct selected areas of deviation while retaining the framework needed for nasal shape and function.
Selective correction targets the deviated portions that interfere with septal alignment instead of removing cartilage extensively. Preserving the remaining structural framework reduces the likelihood that correction will compromise dorsum or tip support. It also leaves more cartilage available for later reconstruction or aesthetic refinement, which can be especially valuable when surgery must address both functional and structural concerns.
Elevating mucoperichondrial flaps provides access to the septal cartilage so that deviated areas can be identified and selectively corrected. The approach is performed while maintaining the important dorsal and caudal cartilage portions beneath the preserved framework. In this way, surgical exposure supports correction without making extensive cartilage removal the central strategy.
Septal cartilage contributes to the support of the nasal dorsum and tip while also relating to the nasal airway. Excessive removal can therefore affect structural appearance and functional airflow. A preservation-focused approach seeks to maintain these supporting elements as correction proceeds, helping protect airway function and reduce the risk of postoperative deformity such as saddle nose.
The procedure includes elevating mucoperichondrial flaps, identifying the deviated septal regions, and correcting those areas selectively. During this process, the surgeon preserves key dorsal and caudal cartilage portions that form the L-strut. The retained framework continues to support the nasal dorsum and tip, while the preserved cartilage may remain available for reconstructive or aesthetic use.
This strategy is relevant during septoplasty and rhinoplasty when surgeons must address deviation without sacrificing important structural support. It is also useful in complex revision procedures, where retained cartilage can provide material for reconstruction or aesthetic refinement. Its value extends beyond appearance because maintaining the septal framework can help protect nasal airway function.
Preservation is intended to maintain nasal dorsum and tip support, protect airway function, and reduce the risk of postoperative structural deformity. Retaining cartilage also preserves a potential source of graft material for reconstruction or aesthetic refinement. These outcomes make the approach relevant when functional correction and maintenance of nasal form must be considered together.
