    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study assessed 90 nasal septal perforations, finding that specific closure techniques using bilateral mucosal flaps and grafts improve long-term prognosis for small to medium perforations.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Nasal septal perforations can significantly impact quality of life.
    • Surgical correction is often necessary but success rates vary.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate parameters influencing the success of nasal septal perforation repair.
    • To identify optimal surgical techniques for different perforation sizes.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 90 cases undergoing corrective surgery for nasal septal perforations.
    • Assessment of etiology, symptoms, and perforation size.
    • Evaluation of closure techniques, including bilateral nasal septal mucosal flaps and autogenous interposition grafts.

    Main Results:

    • Perforation size and closure technique are significant factors for long-term prognosis.

  • Bilateral nasal septal mucosal flaps with autogenous grafts yielded optimal results for small and medium perforations (less than 20 mm).

    • Conclusions:

    • Specific surgical techniques are crucial for successful nasal septal perforation closure.
    • The described flap and graft method offers a promising solution for common perforation sizes.
