Nasal septal perforation can occur by various causes such as
trauma, surgery, inflammatory disease. In cases with symptoms,
conservative management is considered at first. Surgical
treatments are required for patients who do not respond to such
treatments. Currently there is no standardized surgical technique
and the surgical techniques are determined according to the
location, size, or the surgeon¡¯s preference. Techniques
including primary closure, intranasal mucosal flap, and graft
materials can be used alone or combined for operation. Though
various autologous graft materials such as temporalis fascia,
septal cartilage or conchal cartilage have been introduced, these
have disadvantages of large surgical extent and long operation
time. In order to compensate this, use of Allograft dermal matrix
increases, however, lack of rigidity to support the septum can be
problem.
Here, we report a recent 49 year-old male patient with nasal
septal perforation of which the reconstruction was successfully
done implanting lyoplant and vomor together to compensate each
other¡¯s disadvantages and applying silastic sheet for mucosal
regeneration.
