Abstract

Unilateral complete nasal stenosis is a rare condition and is usually acquired. The alar wing and nasal vestibule may be disturbed because of stenosis. We operated on 2 patients with complete nasal stenosis by using the H-flap technique described in this paper. Anterior nares are formed by this technique and, in one case, we used a cartilage graft for creating symmetry of the alar wings. Functional and aesthetic anterior nares are obtained by this technique.
