Abstract

|
|
Background and Objectives : Septal surgery is the most common cause of nasal septal perforation. The aims of this study are to introduce a new technique for the prevention of septal perforation during septal surgery by installingan inferior turbinate mucosal ap on the injured mucosal surface, and to determine its usefulness by valuating the treatment outcomes.
Materials and Methods : Between March 2012 and March 2013, 90 cases of conventional septoplasty were performed. Bilateral mucoperichondrial tears on corresponding areas occurred in 4 cases. Autologous cartilage was inserted and then both sides were repaired using inferior turbinate mucosal aps. Follow-up periods ranged from 5 to 6 months.
Results : Three of the four patients had successful outcomes with complete repair of injuries. The remaining patient had a septal perforation.
Conclusions : The technique of using an inferior turbinate mucosal ap may be an easy, effective method for the prevention of septal perforation during septal surgery.
