OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to study a new treatment to repair large nasal septal perforation with medical titanium membrane. METHOD: Ten patients with septal perforation underwent repair with open rhinoplasty approach using titanium membrane. RESULTS: The perforation of nasal septum in 10 patients was closed satisfactorily. During our followup period (mean, 1 year), the titanium membrane was mucosalized, and this technique led to persistent closing of perforation. CONCLUSION: Repair of septal perforation with titanium membrane yields excellent results. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
