Spare Roof Technique: Preservation Rhinoplasty in the Era of Osteo and Chondroplasty

The chapter explores preservation rhinoplasty techniques, particularly the spare roof technique (SRT), focusing on maintaining nasal structures while addressing dorsal hump deformities. The chapter outlines anatomical considerations and expands on indications for dorsal preservation, emphasizing surface modification. Additionally, it details the SRT and its variants, such as SRT-B, highlighting meticulous surgical steps for achieving optimal aesthetic outcomes, especially in crooked noses. Furthermore, it introduces the reverse spare roof technique (rSRT) for correcting saddle nose deformities, offering insights into its applications in nasal contour restoration and augmentation rhinoplasty.
