In addition to PAE, patients underwent concurrent septoplasty (92%), septal cartilage harvest (61%), turbinate reduction (94%), nasal valve repair (87%), open reduction and internal fixation of nasal bones (44%), or endoscopic sinus surgery (5%). Complications included epistaxis (7%), septal hematoma (3%), nasal cellulitis (2%), nasal tip numbness (1%), adhesions (1%), and persistent or recurrent pyriform aperture narrowing (4%).
