This study systematically reviews the efficacy and safety of surgical reconstruction of external nasal deformities in GPA patients for the first time. Saddle nose reconstruction in GPA patients with minimal or no local disease is a safe procedure despite an increased rate of revision surgery. Further research is required regarding the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis, immune-modulating therapy, long-term outcomes and functional outcomes measured with subjective and objective parameters.
