    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study a new treatment to repair perforation of nasal septum with free mucosa of inferior turbinate between two sides of mucosa of nasal septum. METHOD: The mucosa around perforation of nasal septum was separated by means of submucous correction of nasal septum, and some mucosa of inferior turbinate was cut down, then the mucosa bag of nasal septum and the free mucosa of inferior turbinate were sutured and the perforation could be covered completely. RESULT: The perforations of nasal septums in 21 patients were closed satisfactorily. Perforation of nasal septum did not recur and the follow-up time ranged from 3 months to half a year. CONCLUSION: The free mucosa of inferior turbinate is easy to be got and survive. What's more, it can be used to repair a big perforation of nasal septum. Our method is easy to be performed and the free mucosa can be fixed tightly.
