Summary

This study presents a new surgical technique for repairing medium-sized anterior septal perforations using bilateral mucoperichondrial flaps. The method achieved complete closure in most patients, offering a simple and effective solution for septal defects.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Anterior septal perforations can cause significant symptoms and are challenging to repair.
  • Existing surgical techniques may have limitations in achieving durable closure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel surgical technique for repairing medium-sized (up to 2 cm) anterior septal perforations.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique in a small patient cohort.

Main Methods:

  • The technique involves creating two mucoperichondrial (mucoperiosteal) flaps, one from each side of the nasal septum.
  • The flaps are designed for mutual overlapping of raw surfaces to promote healing and prevent desiccation.

Main Results:

  • Four patients with anterior septal perforations were treated using this method.
  • Permanent and complete closure was achieved in three patients.
  • One patient showed significant reduction and posterior repositioning of the perforation.

Conclusions:

  • This surgical technique offers a simple and effective approach for repairing medium-sized anterior septal perforations.
  • The flap design prevents desiccation and decay, contributing to successful outcomes.
  • Long-term follow-up showed no evidence of disturbed nasal physiology.
