The external or open septorhinoplasty is used in children as young as 6 years of age. The primary indication for this procedure is the presence of nasal septal pathology anterior to the anterior nasal spine causing significant nasal airway obstruction. Meticulous attention to technique, especially the construction of a "new' septum, is essential for a successful outcome.
