title: Endoscopic repair of a nasal septal perforation.
abstract: The repair of septal perforations represents a challenging problem, with numerous techniques existing to address the defect. The use of sinonasal endoscopy represents a novel approach to solving this problem. By using the endoscope, excellent visualization and exposure can be achieved without excessive dissection. In addition, the use of the camera and monitor allows for excellent teaching capabilities.
