[Open rhinoplasty: outcomes of 100 cases]

Open rhinoplasty is a technique that allows a sharper evaluation of nasal deformities since a visual diagnosis may be done. We present a review of the cases in which an open rhinoplasty was performed in our department in the last five years. Preoperative and postoperative data are recorded in a standardized form in order to facilitate their analysis. The techniques used for each type of nasal deformity (dorsal and basal) are described and the results discussed.
