Popis: Purpose of review Multiple successful techniques and approaches for nasal septal perforation repair have been described, yet consistency in perforation and outcome metrics is required to identify the optimal approach to repair. The present article will review the recent literature. Recent findings Computational fluid dynamic studies continue to expand our understanding of the airflow dynamics in nasal septal perforation and after repair. Combining rhinoplasty and nasal septal perforation repair in appropriately selected patients can be safely done with excellent results. There has been a rise in utilization of a temporoparietal fascia with polydiaxonone plate construct for septal perforation repair with excellent outcomes. Summary The present review provides the reconstructive surgeon with an update on nasal septal perforation repair and describes a recently popularized technique of temporoparietal fascia-polydiaxonone plate for perforation reconstruction.
