OBJECTIVES: This study aims to report our experience on surgical repair of @entity5381 ( @entity5381 ) using bilateral intranasal advancement/rotation flaps with open septoplasty technique. @entity1 AND METHODS: Medical records of 28 consecutive @entity1 who were operated for @entity5381 in our clinic between January 2009 and February 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic features of the @entity1 and surgical results were evaluated. RESULTS: The most common cause of @entity5381 was previous septal surgery in 18 (64%) of the @entity1 . Nasal crusting was the most common symptom in 21 @entity1 (75%). Perforation size ranged from 10 to 30 mm in diameter. Septoplasty was performed in five @entity1 , while septorhinoplasty was performed in three @entity1 simultaneously to the @entity5381 repair. Nasal septal cartilage and @entity1844 were used to support the nasoseptal skeleton, if required. There were no major @entity260 . The mean postoperative follow-up period was 23 months. During follow-up, there was mild columellar retraction in five @entity1 (18%). @entity5381 was closed successfully in 24 @entity1 (86%). Pinpoint perforation remained in two @entity1 and perforation size was smaller than 5 mm in two @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Closing the @entity5381 with bilateral intranasal advancement/rotation flaps has a comparable high success rate. Therefore, this technique can be easily applied to small-medium sized septal perforations.
