Abstract
Purpose: Septal perforations (SPs) present a distinct challenge. There are many described surgical approaches with variable success rates. The goal of this study is to describe a new technique in repairing SP.
Methods: A case series of eighteen patients with anterior septal perforation who underwent endoscopic repair with the "tunnel technique" based on anterior ethmoid artery flap (AEA) were analyzed. Demographic data, etiology, size of perforation, and success rate were collected.
Results: Eighteen cases with male predominance (67%) were enrolled from 2019 to 2022. The average perforation size was 1.5 cm (0.5- 3.6 cm). The success rate of complete SP closure was 94% (n = 17/18) with no complications after surgery. The patients were followed up for 7 ± 5.2 months.
Conclusions: AEA flap reconstruction with the tunnel technique is associated with favorable outcomes in SP closure. The tunnel technique provides a useful flap bolster and minimizes the use of other supportive measures. This technique offers an addition to other techniques for septal perforation repair.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
