Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is the bone and cartilage that divides the inside of the nose in two parts: left and right parts, known as the septum. A deviated septum is the condition in which the ...

Caudal Septal Deviation: A displacement of the anterior (or caudal) portion of the nasal septum, impairing airflow and nasal symmetry.

The technique calls for patties of crushed cartilage to be placed around the nasal spine and used to attach the caudal septum. A 4-0 nylon suture can be used to achieve midline fixation.

Cartilage cells from small nasal septum biopsies were used to grow autologous grafts and repair knee cartilage injuries in a small proof-of-principle study.

Septoplasty using bony batten grafts was associated with favorable efficacy and safety in correcting caudal septal deviation.The retrospective cohort study included 141 patients with caudal septal ...

Earlier studies have already shown promising results. "Nasal septum cartilage cells have particular characteristics that are ideally suited to cartilage regeneration," explains Professor Martin.

Its innovative design allows ENT specialists to realign and support the nasal septum, including challenging anterior caudal deviations, while preserving cartilage.

If, however, the septum is deviated too far to one side or the other, it can obstruct the movement of air through the nasal passages and prevent the draining of mucous from the sinuses and nose.
