Figure 8. A 28-old female patient had nasal trauma followed by a septal abscess four years ago. She has ended with a short saddle nose. During examination, the septal cartilage was missing. The sixth rib was harvested and obliquely cut (A, B); a new septum was formed (C) and sutured to the splinting spreader grafts (D, E); a columellar strut, shield graft and lateral crural onlay grafts were used (F, G, H); cartilage chips were inserted in rectus abdominis fascia (I, J, K); after two years, the patient was happy with the result (L, M, N)
