The closure of septal perforations is a challenging procedure in nasal reconstructive surgery, both for the surgeon and the patient, since postoperative care is just as important as the surgical procedure used to obtain the best outcome. The first objective is to restore the nasal function and, in the meantime, to rebuild, as possible, the anatomical integrity of the nasal structures, to have long-lasting results. The surgical success rate depends on a precise definition of aetiology, state of nasal mucosa, size and location of the defect, and on a correct postoperative management.

Abstract
The closure of septal perforations is a challenging procedure in nasal reconstructive surgery, both for the surgeon and the patient, since postoperative care is just as important as the surgical procedure used to obtain the best outcome. The first objective is to restore the nasal function and, in the meantime, to rebuild, as possible, the anatomical integrity of the nasal structures, to have long-lasting results. The surgical success rate depends on a precise definition of aetiology, state of nasal mucosa, size and location of the defect, and on a correct postoperative management.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
