Closed rhinoseptoplasty in patient with Van der Hoeve-De Klein Syndrome.

Technical advances in the correction of septal perforation associated with closed rhinoplasty.

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate technical advances for closing septal perforations that allow the perforation repair to be performed with primary or revisional closed rhinoplasty during the same operation. METHODS We used this technique with closed rhinoseptoplasty in 258 cases of perforations in which the perforation ranged from 1.0 to 3.5 cm in diameter. We repaired the perforation using bilateral...

Technical Advances in the Correction of Septal Perforation Associated With Closed Rhinoplasty

Methods: We used this technique with closed rhinoseptoplasty in 258 cases of perforations in which the perforation ranged from 1.0 to 3.5 cm in diameter. We repaired the perforation using bilateral intranasal submucoperichondrial and submucoperiosteal advancement flaps with a sandwich graft interposition between. We prepared the sandwich graft using the auricular or septal cartilage and 2 layer...
