Brief Summary

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

Lateral nasal wall insufficiency is a source of nasal obstruction which plagues many people as the sidewall of the nose collapses due to negative pressure and structural weaknesses of the nose. Bone anchored suture suspension is used by many surgeons to treat it, and involves anchoring the nasal sidewall to the bony rim below the eye. Lateral crura strut graft is another well described and universally used technique involves strengthening lateral crus of lower lateral cartilage of the nose with piece of cartilage. This study aims to compare the two well known and universally used treatments to each other. Based on expert opinions these procedures are both safe and efficient but given lack of randomized clinical trials comparing these 2 techniques, it is difficult to extrapolate which procedure is superior.

Detailed Description

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

Patients with lateral nasal wall collapse who are eligible for surgical repair will be presented with the opportunity to participate. Once consented, standard pre-operative evaluation will be performed including evaluation of degree of lateral nasal wall collapse. They will also be screened with validated quality of life screening tools for nasal congestion, which include the NOSE scale and a visual analog scale. They will then be randomized to treatment either with Lateral crura strut graft or bone anchored suture suspension, in combination with likely other areas of functional rhinoplasty such as septoplasty and turbinate reduction. All of our patients will be seen 1 week, 2-3 month and 1 year after surgery
