천공 후연 기반의 경첩피판을 이용해 치유한 비중격 천공 2예

Abstract

Nasal septal perforation is a defect of cartilage, bone, or mucosa of the nasal septum. Nasal septal perforation has several potentialcauses such as previous septal surgeries, trauma, malignancy, inflammation, or drugs. According to previous studies, successfulsurgical outcome is affected by the size and location of the perforation. Although many surgical techniques have been reported,there is no standardized nor consistent surgical method for repairing nasal septal perforation. This report suggests a new surgicaltechnique of repairing septal perforation using a posterior perforation-margin-based hinge flap.
