Abstract
- Caudal septal deviation is an important cause of nasal obstruction and is a major cause of nasal septal surgery. Although reinforcing and straightening the deviated nasal septum with bone fragment or cartilage is known to be quite effective, such procedure is complicated and time-consuming as it consists of three steps; ‘separation,’ ‘correction,’ and ‘reposition and fixation.’ In this article, we introduce a new technique that can reliably position the caudal septum along the midline and simplify the surgical process into two steps: ‘separation’ and ‘correction and fixation.’
