The authors propose endoscopic access to the internal nasal valve evaluated endoscopically with spreader graft placement under endoscopic visualization as a viable alternative to the classic open technique.

The authors describe a new spreader flap technique analogous to the classic spreader graft technique, which has the benefit of avoiding harvesting and carving cartilage for grafting.
