Nasal airway obstruction is a common presenting complaint to otolaryngology clinics, with the internal valve a commonly implicated anatomic area of obstruction. The nasal butterfly graft is a robust technique to address this subsite with good reported functional and aesthetic outcomes in both primary and secondary rhinoplasty. The authors describe their approach to patient evaluation, surgical candidate selection, operative technique, and outcomes assessment for this technique.

Microtia techniques have evolved to improve esthetic outcomes, reduce donor site morbidities, and reduce complications. Patients with microtia commonly have aural atresia associated with conductive hearing loss. The authors present the evolution of thier technique for microtia reconstruction and considerations for hearing management in these patients.
