The external rhinoplasty approach extends the usual marginal nasal incisions to include a notched transcolumellar incision. This maneuver enhances surgical exposure for the analysis and correction of all types of nasal bone, nasal septum and nasal cartilage deformities. Nasal septal perforation, nasal bone grafting and hypophysectomy my be operated upon through this excellent avenue of exposure.
