Osteotomy techniques in preservation rhinoplasty with an analysis of a Radix-skull base CT series.

This study aims to explain our experience with dorsal preservation (DP) osteotomies, focusing on transverse, lateral, and dorsal aesthetic lines (DAL) osteotomies. We describe the utilisation of a variety of surgical instruments, including osteotomes, saws, burrs, and piezo. This paper describes our concept of transcutaneous ultrasonic osteotomy (TUO), micro-edged specific osteotomy (MESO), applying drills for lateral wall reshaping, and integrating piezo technology to establish new Dorsal Aesthetic Lines. Furthermore, we present a Radix-skull base CT series analysis to evaluate the safety of transverse and radix osteotomies.
