Purpose: In the present report, we have introduced a novel technique for concomitant Le Fort I surgery
14 70
and dorsal preservation rhinoplasty and reviewed the reported data.
15 71
16 Patients and Methods: Concurrent surgery could be considered a suitable option for patients requiring 72
17 both upper jaw orthognathic surgery and rhinoplasty or those who are willing to undergo single-stage 73
18 concomitant rhinoplasty and orthognathic surgery. In the present technical note, we have introduced a 74
19 dorsal preservation rhinoplasty technique combined with Le Fort I surgery through an intraoral approach. 75
20 The advantages of this technique include its conservative design, avoidance of a second surgery and anes- 76
21 thetic, the ability to correct possible nasal defects caused by the Le Fort I osteotomy, keeping the keystone 77
22 area intact, and, most importantly, the possibility of concomitant surgery. However, recurrence of the 78
23 hump and nasal pyramid lateralization are among the problems that could be associated with this tech- 79
24 nique. These disadvantages might necessitate revision surgery. 80
25 Results: A total of 48 patients (23 females and 15 males) had undergone concomitant rhinoplasty and Le 81
26 Fort I surgery using a modified dorsal preservation technique. No patient reported dissatisfaction with the 82
27 results of surgery regarding the nasal and facial esthetics. No evidence of severe complications, such as 83
28 saddle nose, severe deviation, airway compromise, or severe asymmetry, was observed postoperatively. 84
29 85
Conclusions: Based on our experience with patients and after at least 1 year of follow-up, the results of
30 86
the present study suggest that this technique is straightforward and produces excellent results.

Discussion
686 742
687 The main differences between our method and the 743
688 conventional technique are the intraoral access for 744
689 septoplasty and lateral nasal osteotomy in both PDO 745
690 and LDO techniques, the area of septal strip removal, 746
691 and, most importantly, the possibility of concomitant 747
692 surgery. For cases of upper jaw surgery, if one intends 748
693 to perform superior septal strip removal using the con- 749
694 ventional dorsal preservation technique, a flail septum 750
695 will be encountered without any articulation, not only 751
696 inferiorly, but also superiorly and posteriorly owing to 752
697 the disarticulation of the septum and the role of the 753
698 maxillary crest. 754
699 According to recent research by Daniel,22 almost al- 755
700 ways, a true hump will be a cartilaginous hump, not a 756
701 bony hump. Using this technique, after osteotomy and 757
702 displacement of the nasal pyramid, rasping can be 758
703 used to smooth the surfaces and edges without the cre- 759
704 ation of an open roof. In our first experience using this 760
705 surgical technique, the determination of the amount of 761
706 the inferior strip to be removed for adjustment of the 762
707 dorsum position was time-consuming and had to be 763

709 tion. However, in further cases and with increasing 765
710 experience, the duration of this step was significantly 766
711 reduced. No limitation exists regarding the amount of 767
