INTRODUCTION: The treatment of nasal @entity340 is very controversial and many otorhinolaryngologists do not always take surgery into consideration. The purpose of this paper is to present the author's surgical technique and the description of 13 @entity1 on which it may work. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Thirteen cases presenting with nasal obstruction secondary to nasal @entity340 are reviewed. All of the @entity1 presented with internal @entity337 and in three of them an @entity30744 was associated. Diagnosis was achieved by means of the clinical findings and physical examination. An open rhinoplasty approach was employed. The surgical technique consisted in a transposition of the upper lateral cartilage over the alar cartilage. In the three @entity1 with @entity30744 a fixation graft from the septal cartilage was also employed. RESULTS: Nasal obstruction and @entity340 seemed improved in all of the cases. CONCLUSION: Upper lateral cartilage transposition seems to be an adequate method to solve the @entity338 .
