title: [Current status of the treatment of nasal septal perforations].
abstract: If the most part of the patients with septal perforation have an history of previous surgery, only few of them present symptoms and require surgical repair in spite of the various techniques described in the literature. Bilateral naso-septal mucosal flaps with temporalis fascia interposition graft give the best results. That's why the use of more complicated process remain the exception. Owing to the dubiousness of these reconstructions, it seems advisable to point out the value of preventive actions in order to preserve the nasal physiology.
