Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Several techniques and maneuvers for surgical correction of caudal septal dislocation have been
mentioned in the literature nevertheless the subject has still bearing different opinions and preferences
on which approach to be applied.
AIM OF STUDY:
to assess different surgical approaches and techniques that are used in the management of caudal septal
dislocation.
PATIENTS AND METHOD:
A prospective, observational study was conducted on 50 patients from 10 January 2018 to August 2018
with age range from (18-39 years) who underwent nasal surgery (septoplasty, septorhinoplasty). The
study conducted in Center of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck surgery/ Sulaymaniyah Teaching
Hospital and Azmar private hospital. Preoperative assessment data were gathered & compared with
postoperative assessment data after 3-6 months follow up. The data was analyzed statistically using
SPSS version 25.
RESULTS:
patients included in the study were 64% males and 36% females, 22% went through septoplasty while
78% went through septorhinoplasty. For the techniques that used in surgical correction of the caudal
dislocation (wedge resection, batten graft and L-strut graft) the results were significant postoperatively
while for scoring technique the results were insignificant postoperatively .
CONCLUSION:
There are different techniques used in surgical correction of caudal septal dislocation with good results
and according to each patient. The use of L-strut graft technique whenever it needed especially in
severe deviation .
