Double Opposing U Suture For Septal Multiple Axis Deviations: A Multi-Vectoral Approach

Septal cartilage deviations comprise the majority of deformities related to revision rhinoplasty operations. Therefore, the primary operation should be as eventless and durable as possible. Many techniques have been suggested, but most present with a monoplanar correction and fixation of the septum. This study aims to demonstrate a suture method that fixates and broadens the deviated septum. This method employs a single-stranded suture passing below the spinal periosteum, pulling the posterior and anterior portions of the septal base separately. It was utilized in 1578 patients, of which only 36 necessitated a revision of septoplasty in the past 11 years (2010-2021). With a revision rate of 2.29%, this method should be considered a preferable choice over many techniques described in the literature.
