Bone and temporal fascia graft for the closure of septal perforation

Abstract

We consider that the graft of temporal fascia with bone is very reliable, and the use of bone ensures closure while avoiding the complications of a lax septum in large perforations. The technique is suitable for perforations up to 2.5 cm diameter. Perforations larger than 3 cm in diameter are more difficult to close, but closure of the anterior part of the perforation will relieve the patient from the most annoying symptoms.
