Abstract
The aim of this article was to describe our surgical technique for the treatment of nasal septal perforations with diameters of 1 to 2 cm. Retrospective clinical research. We reviewed 13 patients with moderate nasal septal perforations (1-2 cm diameter) treated with a sandwich technique (bone or cartilage and quadriceps fascia graft as an interposition graft) by an endoscope-assisted intranasal approach from January 2008 to June 2011. Follow-up periods were 3 months. Thirteen patients were treated with the sandwich technique. Twelve cases (92.3%) were completely healed. One case received incomplete closures without any postoperative symptoms. All patients were found not to have any complications after surgery. The transnasal endoscopic sandwich technique for repairing moderate nasal septal perforation (1-2 cm) has a high success rate and is easy to perform.
