ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Despite the many described techniques, surgical repair of iatrogenic nasal septal perforations is still challenging. The authors present a novel technique for endoscopic closure of postoperative and recurrent nasal septal perforations.

METHOD: The technique is based on the elevation of a vascularized flap from the L-strut area and the creation of the bed site without dissection of the surrounding septum. Seven patients were operated using "L-strut overlay" flap from June 2018 to October 2020. All patients had their perforations closed 12 months after surgery.

CONCLUSION: Early results of our surgical technique have proven its simplicity and high effectiveness.
