Cutting and Suture Technique of the Caudal Septal Cartilage for the Management of Caudal Septal Deviation

Abstract

The cutting and suture technique of the caudal L-strut seems to be a useful technique that can be performed with relative ease and simplicity.

Caudal Septal Division and Interposition Batten Graft: A Novel Technique to Correct Caudal Septal Deviation in Septoplasty

“…From this, we can assume that improved state of nasal obstruction persists in the long-term manner as well, although it is not as good as postoperative 2-month result. This result is comparable with the outcome reports from other studies: the cutting and suture technique resulted in 83% subjective satisfaction and 98% improvement in caudal septal deviation from endoscopic examination; 4 batten grafting resulted in reduction of the NOSE score from 70.5 preoperatively to 28.7 postoperatively, 100% improvement in the endoscopic examination, and improvement of symptoms in 91% of patients; 7,8 anterior septal reconstruction resulted in reduction of the NOSE score from 68.2 preoperatively to 21.1 postoperatively. 9…”

Effectiveness of modified cutting and suture technique for endonasal caudal septoplasty in correcting nasal obstruction and preventing nasal tip projection loss

“…The cutting and suturing technique is a very good surgical method [ 3 ], but its disadvantages are the risk of postoperative external nasal deformity and the fact that a graft is always required [ 4 ].. In this study, all patients were unaware of external nose deformity and CT evaluation also showed no loss of tip projection.…”

The effect of caudal septoplasty on nasal angle parameters: a report on 69 cases

“…Also, the follow‐up period can be a shortcoming. Considering the fact that follow‐up periods were between 3 and 6 months in the previous reported studies on complications after septoplasty, the follow‐up period of the present study may be reasonable. However, a 9‐year follow‐up study has shown that both subjective and objective changes in nasal airway patency take place over time .…”
