2.5 Replacing the right septal mucosal flap and dressings
At the end of the operation, the lateralized intact mucoperichondrial flap is moved back to the midline (Figure 4a). We do not suture the incision line. We insert a small resorbable dressing (eg: Nasopore) wedged at the top of the nasal cavity adjacent to the incision site to ensure flap do not lateralise and allows end to end contact at the incision. Alternatively, tissue glue can be used to “stick” the incision back together.
