Report on ten patients with rhinoseptal deformity of trauma, infection and unsuccessful surgery etiology. The main complaint was nasal obstruction besides aesthetic deformity. All were seen at the otolaryngology outpatient clinic at Hospital de San José, Bogotá DC. Reconstruction with costal cartilage obtained from a tissue bank was conducted by an open approach. Minimum follow-up duration was 7 weeks and maximum 16 weeks. Patients were assessed with pre and postsurgical photographs. No infection of the surgical site or graft extrusion was observed. Functional and aesthetic improvement was evaluated by patients and surgeons, rated good or excellent. The application of this technique yielded good results for different age groups and etiologies.
