Treating nasal septal perforations is difficult, with high recurrence rates. A novel midfacial degloving approach avoids endonasal or external incisions, offering a new surgical option.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Plastic Surgery
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Nasal septal perforations present significant treatment challenges, often with high recurrence rates (30-70%).
- Current surgical techniques, including rhinoplasty, require extensive dissection and tissue transfer, especially in pediatric cases.
- Existing methods face limitations due to small anatomical structures and limited tissue availability in children.
