Abstract

The field of reconstructive nose surgery looks back on a long history, having its origins in ancient Egypt and India. As early as 600 BC, a Hindu surgeon reconstructed a nose using an advancement flap from the cheek (Rogers BO, 1967). Nasal disfigurement caused by barbaric war customs in some ancient population further raised the need for surgical intervention to restore function and appearance to the premorbid state of the nose.
Nowadays, the most common reasons for reconstructive nose surgery range from simple procedures such as the correction of a deviated septum to fully reconstructing a nose after skin cancer extirpation or animal wound bites.
This retrospective study attempts to summarize all major surgical techniques used in reconstructive nose surgery and analyzes the data of patients having undergone septoplasty and septo-rhinoplasties performed in the period of 2012 to 2015 at the department of ENT H&N Surgery Sisters of Mercy University medical center of Zagreb, Croatia.
