Endoscopic Septoplasty with Limited Two-line Resection: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Septal Deviation
Published on: June 20, 2018
[Surgery of the Nasal Septum]
Abstract:
Dimension, position and stability of the cartilaginous nasal septum are crucial for successful surgery of the nasal septum. The objective of septoplasty is to create sufficient space in the anterior parts of the nose, particularly in the region of the nasal valves. Therefore, the cartilaginous nasal septum should obtain a state of "balanced tension". Essential steps of septoplasty include the hemitransfixion incision, the dissection of subperichondrial/subperiosteal tunnels, the mobilization via chondrotomy/osteotomy, the resection of cartilage/bone, the replantation of extracorporeally straightened material/reconstruction of the caudal nasal septum, closure by suture and fixation with nasal splints. Firmness of the caudal nasal septum is essential for sustainable septal surgery. It ensures the stability of the entire cartilaginous nose over decades.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
Chronic Pharyngitis
Etiology
It often arises from persistent viral or bacterial infections affecting sinuses and tonsils.
Additional contributing factors include inadequate dental hygiene, mouth breathing, recurring tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, laryngopharyngeal reflux, and exposure to smoke, chemicals, and other environmental pollutants. Allergic reactions to pollen, mold, and pet dander, chronic cough, excessive voice usage,...
