OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of calvarial bone in the reconstruction of saddle nose deformity. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Plastic Surgery Unit of Imam Reza Hospital, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, from July 2004 to October 2009. It comprised 19 patients who underwent saddle nose deformity reconstruction with calvarial bone graft. All patients were operated upon under general anaesthesia. They were followed up periodically. RESULTS The patients followed up for 25 to 61 months for an average period of 39.2 +/- 4.3 months. In 14 (74%) patients the result of the surgical intervention was excellent, while in 5 (26%) it was acceptable. All patients were satisfied and there was not displacement, absorption, distortion or infection of the graft. CONCLUSIONS Calvarial bone graft is a viable option for the reconstruction of saddle nose deformity, especially in severe cases.
