The Septal Translocation Procedure: An Alternative to Lateral Rhinotomy

Abstract: Lesions deep in the nasal vault with contiguous sinus involvement often required a lateral rhinotomy for exposure. This procedure affords excellent surgical access, but requires a significant external incision. An alternative sublabial technique, with dislocation of the nasal septum into the opposite nasal passage, provides excellent surgical exposure for these same lesions, while external facial incisions are avoided. The text outlines the surgical technique and representative uses in optic nerve decompressio… Show more

“…An average hospitalization time of 7 days and possible esthetic sequelae related to the facial scar were also present 55,56 . With the intent to avoid the latter concern, other techniques not requiring facial incisions such as Rouge‐Denker operation, 57 septal translocation, 58 and midfacial degloving 59 have been used.…”

“…Denker rhinotomy and medial maxillectomy through a sublabial technique, with dislocation of the nasal septum into the opposite nasal passage, provide excellent surgical exposure for these same lesions, while external facial incisions are avoided [452, 453]. A sublabial incision gives excellent exposure without external facial scar [247].…”
