The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using a diced cartilage in fascia (DC-F) graft for successful closure of nasal septal perforations and to evaluate symptom reduction. This was a retrospective study of 18 patients undergoing surgical repair of symptomatic nasoseptal perforations of different etiologies using a DC-F graft from 2020 until 2021. The procedure was feasible in all of the 18 patients. Reconstruction of septal defects with a DC-F graft led to reduction of crust formation, reduction of epistaxis, and improvement of nasal breathing in 13 out of the 18 patients when seen for their 2-month follow-up. Reperforation occurred in three cases, leaving defects of 1, 7, and 5\u2009mm in diameter. In one case, the reperforation was symptomatic. A DC-F graft proved to be a reliable and reproducible method for the closure of nasoseptal perforations of variable sizes, of different locations, and of different etiologies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0043-1773768","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T23:03:10Z","timestamp":1693263790000},"page":"476-484","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Closure of Nasal Septal Perforations Using a Diced Cartilage in Fascia Graft"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Cornelia","family":"Spatz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"K\u00fchnel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Achim","family":"Stegmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Erlangen, Erlangen, Bavaria, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Franziska","family":"Schwan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"Bumm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Caritasklinikum Saarbr\u00fccken, Saarbr\u00fccken, Saarland, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Bohr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","volume-title":"Nose, Throat and Ear and Their Diseases","author":"C CG Jackson","year":"1929"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"121","DOI":"10.1002\/lary.1982.92.2.121","article-title":"The surgical closure of nasoseptal perforations","volume":"92","author":"W S Goodman","year":"1982","journal-title":"Laryngoscope"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"168","DOI":"10.1001\/archotol.1986.03780020048011","article-title":"Septal perforation closure utilizing the external septorhinoplasty approach","volume":"112","author":"R WH Kridel","year":"1986","journal-title":"Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref4","first-page":"174","article-title":"\u201cCross-stealing\u201d technique for septal perforation closure","volume":"33","author":"R Mladina","year":"1995","journal-title":"Rhinology"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"514","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-197011000-00023","article-title":"Closure of large septal perforations with a labial-buccal flap","volume":"46","author":"J B Tipton","year":"1970","journal-title":"Plast Reconstr Surg"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"275","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-197702000-00015","article-title":"\u201cPractical suggestions on facial plastic surgery\u2014how I do it\u201d.
