BACKGROUND: In crooked noses, the standard septoplasty is a challenge because of the complex deviation of the septum, where straightening of the cartilage in situ is impossible. Hence, it is required to remove the partial/total septum and later is replaced back after being straightened; the procedure is called partial/total extracorporeal septoplasty. In the present study, we shared our experience of partial extracorporeal septoplasty in patients with crooked noses.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is a retrospective analysis of 30 crooked noses who underwent extracorporeal septoplasty due to gross septal deviation from March 2020 to August 2022. The functional and aesthetic outcomes were evaluated at the end of 12 months.

RESULTS: Of 30 cases, partial and total extracorporeal septoplasty was performed in 28 cases and two cases respectively. Neoseptum was reconstructed with septal cartilage in 27 (90%) cases, costal cartilage in one case and conchal cartilage was used in two instances. All the patients had good functional and aesthetic outcomes till 12 months of follow-up, and there were no major intraoperative or postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION: Extracorporeal septoplasty can be an excellent surgical procedure in the highly deviated nasal septum, in Indian noses with a crooked nasal deformity. It provides adequate exposure to the whole septum, ensuring good functional and aesthetic outcomes with minimal complication rate.
