Abstract
Background: Among the different operations for septoplasty, the extracorporeal septoplasty technique basically consists in the removal of all the nasal septum, the correction of bone and cartilage deformities, and their replacement with a particular suture technique to correct the markedly deviated nasal septum especially in the internal nasal valve area. The drawbacks of this surgery technique are as follows: swelling of the mucosa in the valve area and restenosis, the development of saddle nose and septal hematoma. The aim of this study is to describe our results with a modified suture technique of the extracorporeal septoplasty (ECS), taking into account the operative time and functional results.
