Correcting Caudal Septal Deviation with a Modified Horizontal Mattress Suture.

Correction of caudal septal deviation remains surgically challenging, given its imperative function as a nasal tip stabilizer and factor in tip projection, as well as its impact on the nasolabial angle and length of the nose. Although various procedures have been devised to repair the caudal septum using grafting techniques, correction with minimally invasive isolated suture techniques is limited. In this case report, we describe a modified horizontal mattress suture to correct caudal septal deviation in a patient undergoing revision septorhinoplasty. The patient followed up for 2 years after the surgery, and correction of the anterior caudal septum deviation remained intact.
