The Tricellufuse Technique for Closing Nasal Septal Perforations.

Nasal septal perforation (NSP) is a structural anomaly that affects the mucosa, cartilage, and bone of the nasal septum, often stemming from septoplasty as the primary cause. Spontaneous healing of a perforated septum is rare, and typically the healing process is observed until it is determined that the condition is stable and no longer deteriorating, at which point surgical intervention is considered. Numerous surgical techniques have been proposed for NSP repair.

Fascia Lata-Fat Island Graft in Septal Perforation Repair.

To measure the success of the fascia lata-fat island graft technique in septal perforation repair as measured by nasal endoscopic examination.

Methods: Cranial bone computed tomography images of 30 benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients and 30 control patients were acquired with a 128-slice computed tomography scanner and a transverse plane with a thickness of 0.67 mm.

A Novel Technique for Septal Perforation Repair: Fascia Lata Graft.

Background: Nasal septal perforation (NSP) is an anatomical defect involving the mucosa, cartilage/bone of the nasal septum, most commonly caused by septoplasty. Spontaneous healing of a perforated septum is rare; instead, it tends to worsen over time. Several surgical approaches have been described for NSP repair.

Retrospective Evaluation of a Novel Nasal Tip Suture Technique.

Nasal tip surgery is a crucial aspect of rhinoplasty in which suture techniques play a significant role. Early suturing techniques focused primarily on repositioning alar cartilage remnants after they had undergone significant resection. The size, contour, and orientation of the medial and lateral crura are primary factors in creating a tip shape.

Introduction: Nasal dorsum irregularities after rhinoplasty are still one of the most common complaints among both surgeons and patients. In this study, we used a new cross-linked hyaluronan (NCH) gel and blood mixture as the stabilisation scaffold. Diced cartilage combined with the NCH gel and blood mixture was used for nasal dorsum camouflage.

The Hemostatic Efficacy of Hydrogen Peroxide Irrigation to Control Intraoperative Bleeding in Adenoidectomy.

Objective: Although adenoidectomy is generally accepted as a safe procedure, intraoperative hemorrhage is still the most common and potentially life-threating complication, especially in pediatric patients. We evaluated the clinical effect of intraoperative hydrogen peroxide irrigation with respect to hemostasis and operation times in pediatric adenoidectomy.

Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind study to investigate hydrogen peroxide solution in hemostasis in pediatric patients undergoing adenoidectomy.
