Abstract

Nasal septal perforation is the destruction of the septal cartilage, bone, and mucosa due to previous septal surgeries, inflammation, trauma, drugs or malignancy. The surgical closure of nasal septal perforation is a challenging part. Many surgical techniques have been reported, but there is no standardized surgical method for treating septal perforation. We encountered a 63-year-old patient with a septal perforation. In this study the experiences with a new surgical material for closure of large perforations of the nasal septum are presented. This report suggests a new surgical technique of repairing septal perforation using a nasal floor and inferior meatus (NFIM) flap with TnR Nasal Mesh® as an alloplastic graft material.
