16 Bilateral Septal Mucosal Flaps in Septal Perforations
José J. Letort
Summary
Septal perforations repair is a very challenging and sometimes frustrating surgery for the nose surgeon; we describe a technique based on an extended lateral dis­section of the mucosa. For this, we can use either the external approach or the endonasal endoscopic approach. The lateral dissection of the flaps extends superiorly under the nasal bones and lateral superior cartilages and inferiorly under the inferior turbinate. For flaps closure, a transfixing suture is preferred to avoid tension and tearing of the flaps.
16.1 Introduc tion
As a rhinoplasty surgeon, I frequently have to deal with septal perforations in two dierent situations. First, there are patients with symptomatic perforations due to previ­ous surgery or other previous causes, and second, there are patients in whom the perforation occurs during surgery when the mucosa is bilaterally damaged, which subsequently needs mucosal fixation. It occurs especially in revision surgery.
There are many options to treat nasoseptal perfora­tions, from prosthetics of flaps with or without interposition of tissue. The literature shows the results often contradictory and rarely statistically significant.
To repair these perforations, I use a modified technique for hump removal with mucosal preservation. This can be done with an external or endoscopic approach. Both of these techniques need a good dissection of the mucosa and to suture without tension of the flaps.
For this technique, it is very important to know the anat­omy of the septum. Review Chapter 3 to get greater insights about blood supply of the nose and nasal septum. Bilateral septal mucosal flaps are dissected in a submucopericodrial­mucopieriosteal plane from anterior to posterior and from superior to inferior, thus preserving the vascular supply of the posterior andsuperior portion of the septum.
The septal artery network comes from the septal artery that runs over the rim of the posterior choana after the division of the sphenopalatine artery at the level of the sphenopalatine foramen. These arteries run from poste­rior to anterior so they allow for a good dissection of the bilateral flaps (Fig. 16.1a, b).
The system of the internal carotid artery with one of its branches, the ophthalmic artery, divides into the anterior

and posterior ethmoidal arteries, which also play a role in the vascularization of this flap.
16.2 Indications
The advancement of local flaps alone or combined with interposition of grafts techniques is suitable for small to moderate symptomatic septal perforations with good superior and inferior margins.
The main symptoms of nasal septal perforation that we find are crusting, epistaxis, and nasal obstruction, as in the literature. In our patients, these symptoms are worse due to the altitude (2,800 m) and lack of humidity.
Some patients may feel some relief with conservative treatment such as humidification, moisturizing ointments,

and nasal saline irrigations; however, these measures have a limited and temporary eect.
Patients with active cocaine abuse, topical nasal vaso­constriction spray overuse (oxymetazoline), systemic dis­ease (granulomatosis with polyangiitis), those who play contact sports, and those who have other similar condi­tions that impair a good vascular supply are not good candidates for this technique.

16.3 Surgical Technique
The bilateral mucosa flaps technique is based on the sep­tal mucoperichondrial flap, which is insucient for most of the nasoseptal perforations, and needs to be completed with lateral extension mucoperiosteal flaps in the floor and under the nasal bones. The use of endoscopes is man­datory for the dissection.
Lee et al they dissect just one side and use temporalis fascia between the flaps.
16.3.1 Instrumentation
The instrumentation used for this technique is the same as for rhinoplasty when the open approach is used. If we choose the endoscopic approach, a 0-degree endoscope is the standard for mucosal dissection. A 30- or 45-degree endoscope is useful for the lateral extension of the dissec­tion under the nasal bones and in the floor of the nose under the inferior turbinate. For the mucosa edges, a pol­yglactin (Vicryl) 5–0 is used for suturing.
16.3.2 Technique
Step 1
Local and General Anesthesia
All the patients are operated on under general anesthesia to obtain complete amnesia, analgesia, and sedation. The local anesthesia protocol that we use is as follows:
Lidocaine 2% in combination with epinephrine 1:200,000
Oxymetazoline 0.050% embedded in two neurosurgeon pledges

describe a similar endoscopic technique, but
Fig. 16.2 External approach: The exposure of the nasal bones (NB), superior lateral cartilages (SLC), inferior lateral cartilages (ILC), dorsal septum (DS), and caudal septum (CS) makes this approach a good alternative to repair a septal perforation.
We begin the infiltration in the posterior part of the nasal septum and then we continue with small amounts of local anesthetic anteriorly. This helps us to avoid bleed­ing in the area of injection.
Finally, we inject the floor of both cavities, under the nasal bones and superior lateral cartilages. Cottonoids are placed in each nasal cavity. At this time, the vibrissae are cut with a number 15 blade for maximum visualiza­tion during surgery.
Step 2
Approach
External approach: the same technique for open rhino­plasty could be used. Transcolumellar incision is per­formed, followed by marginal incisions with exposition of the nasal tip cartilages and the dorsum.
A dissection from the anterior septal border to the cau­dal border is then performed (Fig. 16.2), at this time we have to cut the septum-lateral junction to have a good septal exposure.
In case of the endoscopic approach, we begin with the hemitransfixion incision until we find the submucoperi­chondrial plane.
A 27-gauge needle with a 5-cc syringe is used to infiltrate the local anesthetic in the subperichondrial-subperiosteal plane where there is cartilage or bone, and between both mucosa where there is no cartilage or bone. This usually happens around the perforation, especially in the case of postseptoplasty patients. In these patients in whom the loss of cartilage and bone is bigger than the perforation, it is very useful to put the local anesthetic in the right plane to help us with the dissection.

Step 3
Dissection
This is the most important surgical step. After finding the submucoperichondrial-mucoperiosteal plane, we begin the dissection of the superior tunnel with the 0-degree endoscope and the Cottle elevator. As soon as we are in the right plane, the dissection is continued with the suction elevator.

The dissection is continued under the nasal dorsum and superior lateral cartilages. For a better visualization, the 0-degree endoscope is switched for the 30- or 45-degree telescope.
The lateral extended superior t unnel is created.
After the superior tunnel is complete, it is easy to con­tinue with the inferior tunnel. For this purpose, the Cottle maxilla-premaxilla approach is used to dissect from the soft tissue lateral to the filtrum until we reach the pyri­forme aperture and the floor of the nasal fossa. This step can be done using a headlight instead of scope.

At this time under endoscopic visualization, a 90-degree curved elevator is used to begin the dissection of the floor, and then a suction elevator is used to elevate the mucosa and extend the dissection laterally in the subperiosteal plane in the inferior meatus and under the inferior turbinate.
Finally, endoscopically with the 0-degree endoscope and with the sickle knife, we complete the dissection around the perforation, trying to preserve the mucosa (Fig. 16.3). This step ends when the unified fossa lateral extension is obtained (Fig. 16.4). If there is any septal deviation, we

If the size of the perforation is too big to close or
Step 4
Repairing
For this step, if there is any septal deviation, with the 0-degree endoscope and with the Takahashi through-cut nasal forceps the bone or cartilage deformation is resected.
This correction gives us some extra mucosa to repair the perforation. If the size of the perforation allows us closing without tension, a first attempt to suture the flap in place is done.
The interposition of any type of tissue has been subject of discussiongetting better results with this technique than suturing the mucosa alone in some papers. ever, other authors find that there is no dierence. Usually we do not use any tissue interposition.

Step 5
Suture Technique
Two techniques are possible for suturing the flaps:
1. Edge to edge suture: The edges are sutured in each nasal cavity separately using a 5–0 Vicryl. If there is enough mucosa and no tension, it is possible to do this type of technique, but unfortunately this is not the case in most of the patients.
2. Transfixing suture: With the same suture, the flap edges are approached in a transfixing way, from one nasal cavity to the contralateral. The advantages of this technique include the following:
Less tension in the flaps
Less risk of mucosal tear
No dead space between the flaps
When necessary, it is possible to combine these two techniques (Fig. 16.5a, b).
The hemitransfixing incision is closed in the case of endonasal-endoscopic approach with 5–0 fast-absorbing interrupted sutures. In the open approach, the marginal incision is closed with 5–0 fast-absorbing interrupted sutures and the transcolumellar incision is sutured with 6–0 nylon.
The exposed bone is left uncovered. The transcolumellar suture is removed at day 7.
Step 6
Packing
If there is some bleeding or if it is necessary to keep the mucosa in place, we use some lubricated packing during 24 to 48 hours. Plastic or Silastic sheeting of the reconstruction is needed to diminish the swelling and help with the mucosa healing. After 2 weeks, the sheeting is carefully removed.
Postoperative Care
The patient keeps his/her nose moist with nasal douches with saline solution and applies antibiotic ointment on both sides of the reconstruction until the healing process is complete.
Antibiotic prophylaxis is done with first-generation cephalosporin (cefadroxil 1 g orally twice a day) before and 7 days after surgery. Alternative antibiotics are used in cases involving penicillin-sensitive patients.
16.4 Complications
The most common complication is septum reperforation. Other less common potential complications include hyposmia, infection, hematoma, vestibular stenosis, and epiphora.

The causes of reperforation include the following:

Infection
Excessive pressure in the stenting
Improper candidate for surgery
Insucient blood supply
16.5 Case Example
This is the case of a 59-year-old woman, who came to my oce complaining of epistaxis, nasal crusting, and post­nasal drip. She had had a septoplasty performed several years before. Apparently, all the symptoms appeared after surgery. Local treatment did not help, so she wanted her septal perforation to be repaired.
The perforation has around 1 cm of diameter with
crusting and bleeding. Another smaller perforation was

also found behind the first (Fig. 16.6a, b). The suture was done with many transfixing sutures without tension (Fig. 16.7a, b).
16.6 Tips and Tricks
The bilateral mucosal f laps are a good option for the repair of medium-sized septal perforations.

Fig. 16.6).
The use of endoscope in this technique for the lateral extended mucosal flaps dissection is the key for the success.
To release, if there is too much tension in the flaps, through-and-through cuts are used in the floor of the mucosa over the bone.
The key to avoid mucosal tear during the repairing step is the use of transfixing, without tension suture.
