Abstract
The principles and methods of nasal septoplasty are reviewed. The design of a septoplasty technique based on cartilage preservation and intrinsic stabilization of the septum is discussed. An operative technique using sagittal incision of the septum to create overlapping flanges of cartilage is described. Results of surgical procedures by this method are reviewed, illustrative cases are presented, and limitations are outlined.
