Autologous Interposition Grafts for Mucosal Flap Septal Perforation Repair.

Nasal septal perforation repair is commonly attempted utilizing bilateral nasal mucosal flaps supported with an interposition graft. To compare the failure rates for bilateral flap repairs utilizing four different autologous interposition grafts. This is a retrospective review of a single surgeon's bilateral flap perforation repairs supported with an autologous interposition graft.

Repair of Large Nasal Septal Perforations Using the Upper Lateral Cartilage Mucosal Flap.

Objectives/hypothesis: To describe the surgical technique and closure outcomes of larger septal perforation repair incorporating mucosa from the undersurface of the upper lateral cartilage into a superiorly positioned advancement flap.

Study Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: A chart review was performed for patients who underwent perforation repair utilizing bilateral nasal mucosal flaps which incorporated mucosa from the undersurface of the upper lateral cartilage into the superior flap between January 2009 and December 2020.

Open staple diverticulectomy for a large recurrent Zenker's diverticulum: still a valid procedure.

Objectives: We demonstrate indications for external mechanical stapler diverticulectomy in the modern era of endoscopic treatment. We review treatment of a large diverticulum and discuss considerations that should be made in deciding on the type of surgical treatment.

Methods: The index case was in a 75-year-old man who had undergone open cricopharyngeal myotomy with diverticulopexy 35 years earlier.
