ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the omega stitch technique as an easy-to-reproduce alternative to prevent cartilage vault morbidity, through an open or closed approach, when intervening in primary rhinoplasty patients.
Materials and Methods: A descriptive observational retrospective study done from January 1st 2018 to April 31st 2022, in which patients with photographic and clinical follow-up of at least 6 months after their surgery were included, observing if there was the presence of the inverted V sign in the photographs or collapse of the internal nasal valve with nasal obstruction through interrogation and anterior rhinoscopy.
Results: There were included 29 patients. Adequate definition of the dorsal aesthetic lines was observed; none of the patients presented the inverted V sign or nasal obstruction.
Conclusions: The omega stitch is a useful alternative for the prevention of internal valve collapse and inverted V nasal deformity after performing gibectomy in primary rhinoplasty.
