OBJECTIVE: Septoplasty has been reported as the most common cause of the septal perforation. The interposition of the graft materials between the flaps at the site of the tear may be helpful to decrease the likelihood of septal perforation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of TnR Nasal Mesh on the prevention of septal perforation following septoplasty.

METHODS: Among 46 patients had septal perforation after septoplasty, 35 patients were treated with TnR Nasal Mesh and 11 with autologous septal cartilage for bilateral mucosal tears at the corresponding area of the nasal septum. TnR Nasal Mesh or septal cartilage was placed between the injured mucoperichondrial flaps and confirmed in its original position at both sides under nasal endoscope. Objective endoscopic examination for septal mucosa status was evaluated between the patients who were treated with TnR Nasal Mesh or septal cartilage.

RESULTS: Twenty patients (57.1%) showed complete bilateral mucosa healing and nine (25.7%) had unilateral healing after TnR Nasal Mesh insertion. However, complete bilateral and unilateral mucosa healing was observed in 4 (36.4%) and 1 patients (9.1%) treated with septal cartilage, respectively. Complete healing rate for septal perforation was significantly higher in TnR Nasal Mesh than in septal cartilage insertion (p=0.022). None of the patients showed complications or adverse reactions after TnR Nasal Mesh or septal cartilage treatment.

CONCLUSION: TnR Nasal Mesh insertion after bilateral septal mucosal tear during septoplasty reduces permanent septal perforation without an apparent adverse effect. Therefore, TnR Nasal Mesh may be a safe and effective graft material for the prevention of septal perforation following septoplasty.
