Abstract

Septal perforation is an anatomical defect of the nasal septum that leads to impaired nasal function, including obstruction and respiratory issues. In this study, a novel surgical approach was introduced to address septal perforations, focusing on the use of costal composite chondro-perichondrial grafts bilaterally in a symmetric manner. This composite graft, composed of costal cartilage and perichondrium, provides mechanical support, aids vascularization, and minimizes perichondrial shrinkage. A case study of a 23-year-old patient with septal perforation resulting from multiple rhinoplasty procedures is presented. The surgical procedure involved the use of a composite graft to close the septal perforation and correct the nasal deformity. The postoperative results demonstrated successful septal perforation closure and relief from nasal discomfort. This study highlights the advantages of this method, particularly its simplicity and straightforward surgical procedures for closing septal perforations of various sizes, and its suitability for rhinoplasty surgeons who are familiar with costal cartilage harvesting.
