    Summary

    Surgical repair of large nasoseptal perforations, previously deemed unfeasible, is now achievable. Advanced techniques allow for one-step repair of significant defects, offering new hope for patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Plastic Surgery
    • Head and Neck Surgery

    Background:

    • Large nasoseptal perforations are often considered surgically unfeasible, with polymer prostheses used for symptom management.
    • Defects exceeding 2 x 4 cm are particularly challenging and typically deemed unreconstructable.

    Observation:

    • Techniques adapted from skull base, maxillofacial, and craniofacial surgery enable wide exposure for intranasal flap repair.
    • This approach facilitates a one-step repair for extensive nasoseptal defects.

    Findings:

    • The study presents techniques for reconstructing large nasoseptal perforations using large intranasal flaps.
    • Consideration is given to intranasal scarring and flap vascularity, crucial for successful outcomes.

    Implications:

    • These refined surgical principles offer a viable and confident approach to treating previously untreatable large nasoseptal perforations.
    • This advancement expands surgical options beyond prosthetic management for complex nasal defects.
