This surgery however is inadequate in cases of compromised nasal valves and leads to persistent symptoms. Hence, we stressed the evaluation of nasal valves before septal surgery &amp; studied the outcome of&nbsp; the patients with valve area correction. <strong>Aim</strong>: To prove the significance of inner nasal valve in nasal surgery. <strong>Objective</strong> : To analyse the outcome of &nbsp;Open septoplasty. <strong>Methodology:</strong>A&nbsp; retrospective review of&nbsp; our patients undergoing Open septoplasty was analysed from April 2016 to January 2021. The preoperative and post operative evaluations were calculated &amp; statistically analysed. <strong>Results :</strong> A total of 400 patients underwent Open septoplasty. Out of which 392(98%) showed symptomatic improvement in breathing difficulty &amp;&nbsp; &nbsp;380(95%) were happy with the asthetic improvement. &nbsp;<strong>Conclusion: </strong>Open septoplasty and Spreader grafts is best solution to improve Internal Nasal valve angle. Rim graft to improve external valve collapse. Spreader graft also gives asthetic &amp; functional improvement</p> ER -
