Researchers from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Jikei University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan have recently found out that a modified cutting and suture technique (MCAST) was useful for correcting nasal obstruction with caudal septal deviation.
The study is published in the Journal of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery.
Caudal septoplasty is a difficult procedure. The cutting and suture technique is suitable for caudal septoplasty, but a batten graft is always necessary and bears the risk of nasal tip projection loss.
