Abstract
One hundred seventy-one patients had closure of symptomatic nasal septal perforations by insertion of a Silastic nasal septal prosthesis between June 1972 and August 1981. Follow-up revealed that successful closure of the defect was accomplished in 73% of cases, with reduction in crusting and epistaxis and improvement in nasal respiration in many cases. Prefabricated prostheses have been effective in treating smaller perforations. The treatment of four patients with unusually large septal perforations by custom-carved prostheses sized using computerized axial tomographic scanning is described.
