Fig. 2From: Effectiveness of modified cutting and suture technique for endonasal caudal septoplasty in correcting nasal obstruction and preventing nasal tip projection lossIntraoperative nasal findings. a. Elevation of the nasal septal perichondrium flap to correct the posterior aspect of the nasal septum. b. The septal cartilage is cut approximately 3 mm above the ANS to create a cartilage bank. c. Repositioning the septal cartilage to the medial side. d. Penetration of the needle from the middle part of the bank of cartilage to the nasal septal mucosa on the concave side. e. Suturing of the concave side of the nasal septal mucosa. f. Suturing of the posterior part of the septal cartilage. g. The nasal septal cartilage is slid anteriorly and fixed. ANS: anterior nasal septum; BC: bank of cartilage; Lt: left; NSM: nasal septal mucosa; Rt: right; SC: septal cartilageBack to article page
