Abstract

We report the use of an endoscope-assisted technique for nasal osteotomy in 7 patients. The endoscopic approach has been especially helpful in performing the osteotomy safely and accurately, compensating for the drawbacks of the conventional blind osteotomy procedure. This form of surgery took only approximately 20 minutes longer than conventional surgery. We encountered no complications attributable to the endoscopic approach.
