Abstrakt: A visible scar on the columella is undesirable result for both patient and surgeon. So it is one of the major disadvantage of open nose surgery. Different columellar incision types have been used in open technique of nasal surgery. In this prospective study, we compare W incisions and inverted-V columellar incisions with a scar assessment scale. In this prospective randomized study, open nasal surgery (open rhinoplasty and open technique septoplasty) were performed on 93 patients between November 2009 and July 2012. The inverted-V incision was used on 31 patients (24 males, 7 females). The "W" incision was used on 62 patients (40 males, 22 females). The entire surgical procedure was performed by a single surgeon. The columellar incision was closed using 6-0 interrupted polypropylene sutures. All sutures were removed on the seventh postoperative day. Scars were assessed at 6 moths, with 3 items scar assessment scale, we observed satisfactory scar, pigmentation, and notching. We compared both groups and found that the scar pigmentation, notching and scar formation are similar to each other. As a result of this study we concluded that the inverted-V incision or "W" incision might be a similar choice in open nasal surgery.
