The authors described a technique for the surgical repair of anterior septal perforations of medium size (up to 2 cm). This technique is based on two mucoperichondral (mucoperiosteal) flaps, one from each side of the septum. Four patients have been treated in this way, resulting in permanent and complete closure in three of them. In one patient the perforation has been significantly reduced and positioned much more posteriorly. The main advantage of this technique is a mutual overlapping of the raw flap surfaces which prevents drying-out and decay of the flaps. This technique proves to be rather simple to perform and has not shown any evidence of disturbed nasal physiology in a long-term follow-up period.

Background: The surgical treatment of nasal septal perforation is known to improve nasal respiratory airflow and, thereby, should be beneficial to the patient's olfactory abilities. However, there are only limited data on the effect of nasal septal perforation repair (NSPR) on olfaction, and most studies reported contradictory results.
Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the change in the olfactory abilities of 42 patients with a primary concern of nasal septal perforation.

Background: The aim of this study was to reveal the efficacy of the "cross-stealing" technique in the repair of nasal septal perforation.
Methods: In a prospective clinical investigation, 10 patients with the complaints of crusting, bleeding, whistling, nasal obstruction, and pain and in whom septal perforation was detected underwent surgery by endonasal approach between April 2006 and January 2008. During surgery, the inferior-based mucoperichondrial flap was prepared on one side, the superior-based mucoperichondrial flap was prepared on the other side of the nasal septum, and they were passed to the opposite side through perforation.
