The asymmetric IT width is mainly caused by both hypertrophies of the IT mucosa on the concave side and atrophy of the IT bone on the convex side. Therefore, during the surgery of nasal ventilation reconstruction, the IT on the convex side are suggested to be protected from intervention. In contrast, it is necessary to lateralize the IT bone and reduce the IT submucosal tissue on the concave side. However, routine excision of the IT bone is not recommended.
