Abstract

Background: The deviated nose is one that varies from
the straight vertical orientation of the face. Correction of this
deformity presents a challenge because it represents both a
functional problem (airway obstruction) and an aesthetic
problem must be addressed.
Patient and Methods: From December 2007 to December
2017, 47 patients with crooked nose were operated; 26 males
and 21 females, aged from 18 years to 35 years, with the
mean age were 26.5 years.
Results: Different techniques were applied depending on
deformity type and severity including; solitary osteotomy and
septorhinoplasty. Four patients needed iliac bone grafts for
deformity correction.
Conclusion: Absolute correction of the crooked nose is
a difficult task because of the complexity of the structural
defect, the highly visible, well-defined subunits of the nasal
dorsum, the need for highly skilled surgeon and the tendency
for recurrence.
