This article discusses why nomenclature such as 'upper lateral cartilage', 'lower lateral cartilage', 'weak triangle', 'empty triangle', 'soft triangle', 'hemitransfixion', and 'marginal incision' should be abandoned and replaced by anatomically, linguistically, and surgically correct terms. Suggestions for better terminology are made. The division of the nasal organ into five anatomical areas and three physiological parts is questioned. The terms 'interdomal ligament', 'intercrural ligament', and 'septocrural ligament' should not be used, as histological studies have demonstrated that no such ligaments exist.
本文讨论了为何应摒弃诸如“上外侧软骨”“下外侧软骨”“薄弱三角区”“空三角区”“软三角区”“半贯穿缝合”及“边缘切口”等术语，并用解剖学、语言学及手术学上正确的术语取而代之。文中还提出了关于更好术语的建议。将鼻器官划分为五个解剖区域和三个生理部分的做法受到质疑。“鼻小柱间韧带”“鼻翼脚间韧带”及“鼻中隔鼻翼脚韧带”等术语不应使用，因为组织学研究已表明不存在此类韧带。
