Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There was not any randomize trial to show what is the best type of incision in open rhinoplasty. So, we use both self-rating by patients ,independent physician observers Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and also a validated scar analysis to compare inverted V and stair step incisions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Approaches to rhinoplasty can be separated into two broad categories: external and endonasal, which each of them their own proponent. However, the external approach provide better exposure, critics against this technique is often due to cosmetic deformity regarding the incision. Hence, over the recent years surgeons have modified the trans-columellar incision into two big categories: gull wing and stair steps. While each of them has its own proponents, there is no randomized trial, comparing their cosmetic results.
