  • Title: [A contribution to the closing of perforations of the nasal septum (author's transl)].
    Author: Martins M.
    Journal: HNO; 1978 May; 26(5):183-4. PubMed ID: 659278.
    Abstract:
    A method of closure of septal perforations is described. A wide pedicled flap of mucoperichondrium based by the inferior margin of the perforation is raised and having been rotated and drawn through closes the perforation on the one side. The defect is further patched by a composite retro-auricular graft, the cartilage of which is shaped to fit the perforation. During the past 2 years, 7 large perforations have been closed in this hospital by this method. Apart from one posterior defect, which at operation could not be covered the other perforations were closed.
