Abstract
Introduction

Treating nasal septum perforation is challenging from every point of view for patients who suffer from this condition. This article presents a general overview of this topic and describes an operative technique that very often enables closure of the perforation.

Materials and methods

A retrospective and descriptive study was performed on 92 patients who were surgically treated for nasal septum perforation. All patients were treated with the three-layer bridge flap technique for closure of the defect.

Results

In 98% of the patients, primary closure of the septum perforation was achieved immediately after removing the silicone sheets. The closure rate 18 months postoperatively was 93.8% (60 of the 64 patients who were examined postoperatively).

Conclusions

Success in closure of the septum perforation was greater than 90% with the 3-layer bridge flap technique. This technique can be performed using an endonasal approach and offers fewer complications in experienced hands. The limitation of this procedure is the height of the perforation.

Resumen
Introducción

El tratamiento de las perforaciones del tabique nasal representa desde todo punto de vista un desafío para el paciente que sufra esta patología. En este artículo se expondrá una visión general del tema y se describirá una técnica quirúrgica, que ofrece con gran frecuencia la oclusión de la perforación.

Material y método

Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Se llevó a cabo en 92 pacientes con defectos del tabique nasal. Se describen los detalles del procedimiento quirúrgico, por el que se llevó a cabo el cierre de la perforación del tabique nasal a través del colgajo en puente de 3 capas.

Resultados

En un 98% de los casos hubo un cierre primario del defecto en el momento de retirar las láminas de teflón. La tasa de oclusión a los 18 meses postoperatorios fue de 93,8% (60 de 64 de los pacientes examinados en el postoperatorio).

Conclusiones

El cierre quirúrgico de los defectos del tabique nasal con colgajos «en puente» de tres capas obtiene un éxito superior al 90%. La técnica es aplicable por vía endonasal y presenta pocas complicaciones en manos expertas. Las limitaciones de este método vienen dadas por la altura del defecto.
