The patient is admitted tto my clinic with comliants of "nasal blockage, whistling sound when breathing through the nose, nasal dryness, nose bleeding, collapse of the nasal wings during breathing". During the exam we found that "the nasal tip is deviated to the left, the nasal bone is deviated to the right, the nasal septum is deviated to the right. There is a perforation of approximately 5 mm in diameter near the anterior part of the nasal septum. There are dry, crusty and bleeding areas on the mucosa at the edge of the perforation. There is nasal valve stenosis, which is more prominent on the left, and nasal valve collapse, which increases while breathing. The Cottle's Maneuver (CM) is positive on both sides. The right inferior turbinate is hypertrophied". Preoperative diagnosis was made as "Nasal septum septum perforation, nasal valve collapse, nasal septum deviation, turbinate hypertrophy". In his past history, he emphasized that after the previous nose operation at the another clinic, most of his complaints emerged. The patient I shared with you here applied to our clinic for anatomical changes that occurred as a complication of a nose operation. Each structure has an importance in the anatomy of the nose. The nasal septum is the structure that divides the nasal cavity vertically into two, the punctures in this structure are called Nasal Septum Perforation. As I mentioned in the complaints of the patient I shared above, nasal airflow changes occur as a result of drying in the nose and rapid entry of accelerated airflow. As a result of weakening of the cartilage support of the nose wings, the collapse of the wings while the patient is breathing is called nasal valve arms. It is aimed to treat all these problems to the patient at the same time and to normalize the nasal physiology.

Open technique nasal valve surgery + septum perforation repairing surgery + septoplasty +
turbinate radiofrequency reducing operations are planned.

Surgical details: Under general anesthesia, after local anesthesic injection, midcolumellar incision is made. Bilavel skin dissection is performed and underskin tissue is removed from spuratip area. Vertically ssubmucosal dissection is started on the septum, perforation edges resected. Deviated septal cartilage areas is resected after the elevation of mucoperichondriums. 1.5x2 cm cartilage graft is placed vertically on perforation area. 5/0 rapid vicry is used to stitching of muocsa and cartilage. Left side hole mucosal edges are stitched again for making closer. Rigt sided uderskin tisse is places on outside of perforation area (overlay), it stitched again with 5/0 rapid vicryl. Left and right alar cartilage domes are seen as at different positions, lateral and medial cruras were also different lenght. Alar dome stitching is performed. Bilateral spreader graft is prepared.They stitched to between the upper lateral cartilage and upper part of septum with 4/0 PDS suture. Bilateral marginal rim graft is prepared from cadaveric rib cartilage. Both sided stitched with 6/0 vicryl. Left wide alar batten graft and right sided thin alar batten graft is prepared from cadaveric rib cartilage. Strut graft is prepared from rest septal cartilage and inserted between alar cartilages medial cruras. Strut graft sutured with 5/0 PDS suture and 4/0 vicryl sutures. Cap graft is praperad and stiched on alar dom area with 5/0 PDS stitche. Bilaterally, alar cartilage medical cruras lower parts are trimmed with making of additional incisions on columalle side areas. Bilaterally inferior turbinate radifrequency is performed with Celon RadifrequencyProbe II. Internal silicone splints inserted in both anterior nasal cavities and the stiched with 4/0 PDS suture. External bandages is made with 5 mm SteriStrip. External thermoplastic splint is placed. Bleeding is checked. Operation is finished.

9 days after the operation, right nasal cavity, endoscopic nasal examination photographs on the above show that the septum perforation is completely closed and the nasal septum is straight in the midline

Nostril Retaniner Use After Nasal Valve Surgery

Like our patient we shared here, we recommend our patients, who have undergone an operation to strengthen the nasal wings and widen the nasal valve angle, to use nostril retanniner after the operation. After removing the silicone splints in the nose, we recommend placing the nostril retanniners inside the nose after applying the eye ointment. It is recommended to use at least 8 hours a day and to use it regularly, especially in the first month.
