Suture technique for caudal septal deviations.
Abstract
The "buckled" or severely deviated nasal septum has resisted a variety of techniques devised for its correction. This paper will present a new technique which the author has found useful in many of these cases. This method utilizes in reverse the procedure popularized by Mustardé for managing the protruding ear. Instead of bending the cartilage into a harmonious shape, the bent cartilage is straightened with submucosal permanent sutures. The paper will illustrate this technique.
