Flaring spreader flaps and upper lateral advancement. Modified techniques in the reconstruction of the internal nasal valve
Wurm J, Kovacevic M.
In the archive as a landmark paper: the core sweep runs 2011–2026, and this one is here because the history of rhinoplasty rests on it · cited on middle vault.
From the abstract
“A collapse of the internal nasal valve and the formation of an inverted-V deformity represent common findings following dorsal hump removal in rhinoplasty procedures. Spreader grafts are considered as standard both in the prevention and treatment of such undesirable outcomes. The authors introduce modified surgical…”

Rib, ear and septal grafts
Modern rhinoplasty builds rather than removes, so the operation runs on cartilage: the septum first, then the ear, then the rib, and when none of those will do, a piece of donated rib from a tissue bank.
Septum, valve and airway
Every rhinoplasty is a breathing operation whether it intends to be or not: the septum holds the nose up as well as dividing it, and the narrowest part of the whole airway is the internal valve the surgeon is standing over.
Cleft, trauma and reconstruction
A cleft nose is a sequence spread across a childhood: a repair at three months, sometimes a second at five or six, and a definitive rhinoplasty once the face has finished growing.
