| Popis: | Background The partial cutting and suture technique is a modification of the cutting and suture technique that overcomes the limitations and simplifies the procedure of the cutting and suture technique. Objective We describe the partial cutting and suture technique and evaluate its effectiveness of correcting caudal septal deviation. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent anterior septoplasty using the partial cutting and suture technique. The patients were evaluated with the Nasal Obstructive Symptoms Evaluation (NOSE) scale scores and the acoustic rhinometry preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Results Thirty-one patients underwent caudal septoplasty by our novel technique. The NOSE scale score changed from 43.5 to 11.0 ( P = .000). The minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) on the convex side changed from 0.49 cm2 to 0.65 cm2 ( P = .006). Conclusion The partial cutting and suture technique is relatively easy and is very effective in correcting caudal septal deviation without any complications. |
