TL;DR
The results of the present investigation indicated the presence of the vomeronasal organ in almost every subject studied.
Abstract
The 1000 subjects randomly selected were evaluated for the presence of the vomeronasal organ (VNO). The results of the present investigation indicated the presence of the VNO in almost every subject studied. The implications of the presence of the VNO and its clinical significance during nasal operations are considered.

142 Citations1991L. Monti‐Bloch, B.I. Grosser
The results show that the VNO is a functional organ in adult humans having receptor sites for human putative pheromones and similar quantities of odorant or diluent produce an insignificant effect on the V NO.

Histological examination failed to reveal any evidence that these organs may be functional, and the significance of the findings is assessed in the light of this evidence.

A cartilage graft from the cartilaginous hump can be used in primary rhinoplasty for nasal tip projection without complications in patients with similar nose deformities, which included an inadequately projected tip and a high dorsal line.
