“…Apaydın et al evaluated the cosmetic outcomes of LSG with photographic measurements, and they reported that the crookedness could be corrected significantly. 6 The anterior septal reconstruction graft technique, which can be performed in patients with severe caudal septal deviation, has similar principles to the LSG technique, and it has been reported to provide significant functional and cosmetic improvement in the evaluation with SCHNOS and NOSE. 20 In this study, both SpG and LSG techniques provided a significant improvement in all PROMs between preoperative and postoperative follow-up scores.…”

It is important to assess the patient satisfaction with shape and function by patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following structural or dorsal preservation rhinoplasty (DPR) techniques on the middle nasal vault. To analyze the results of different middle vault rhinoplasty techniques with multiple PROMs and compare their differences according to the findings of PROMs. Four different techniques were performed for the middle vault: spreader graft, L-strut graft, DPR with high strip (DPRwHS), DPR with low strip. The outcomes were evaluated preoperatively, 2 and 12 months postoperatively with the following PROMs: Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE), Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation, and Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey. This study included 129 patients. All techniques provided significant improvements in all PROMs (p < 0.001), except DPRwHS in NOSE. Between postoperative short- and longer-term, no significant differences were observed in DPR groups (p > 0.05), unlike structural techniques. In this comparative study of different middle nasal vault rhinoplasty techniques, we did not detect a difference in the improvement of the patient-reported outcomes of DPR techniques from as early as 2 months to 1 year postoperative.
