Abstract
|
|
|
|
Caudal septal deviation is difficult to correct due to elasticity of cartilage. Septal batten graft is a useful surgical technique used for correction of caudal septal deviation and the septal cartilage is used mainly for graft material. However, in some cases (i.e., revision surgery), its quality may be insufficient or inadequate to be useful. Septal batten graft with a bioabsorbable plate can be an alternative in these cases. The use of a bioabsorbable plate connected with septal cartilage would facilitate surgical correction of severe caudal septal deviation and offer mechanical stability until the manipulated cartilage heals. With a brief review of the literature, we describe our experience of treating a 29-year-old woman with severe caudal septal deviation and clinical summary of 7 patients who underwent septal batten graft using a bioabsorbable plate for caudal septal deviation.
