Summary
Surgical correction of caudal septal deviation is challenging. A modified horizontal mattress suture technique offers a minimally invasive solution for caudal septal deviation, maintaining correction for two years.
Area of Science:
- Rhinologic Surgery
- Plastic Surgery
- Otolaryngology
Background:
- Caudal septal deviation poses surgical challenges due to its role in nasal tip support and aesthetics.
- Existing grafting techniques for caudal septum repair are complex, with limited minimally invasive suture options.
Observation:
- This case report details a modified horizontal mattress suture technique for caudal septal deviation.
Findings:
- The modified suture technique successfully corrected anterior caudal septum deviation in a revision septorhinoplasty patient.
- Correction of the caudal septal deviation was maintained at a 2-year follow-up.
Implications:
- This minimally invasive suture technique may offer an effective alternative for correcting caudal septal deviation.
- Further studies are warranted to evaluate the long-term efficacy and applicability of this technique in diverse patient populations.
