Abstract
The aim of this study was to review and describe the main innovative surgical techniques for nasal septal perforation (NSP) repair that have been published in recent years. Several techniques for NSP repair have been developed recently. The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap is a versatile technique for middle-size perforations in different locations. The greater palatine artery (GPA) flap is an excellent option for anterior-most NSPs. The lateral nasal wall flap and the pericranial flap are the most appropriate techniques for large perforations. The advent of these techniques has changed the management and has expanded the therapeutic arsenal to treat all types of NSPs according to the size, location, and osteo-cartilaginous support. However, no technique has been accepted as the gold standard. Extensive knowledge of different techniques is important to individualize the treatment, selecting the most appropriate in each case.
