A new method of construction of obturators for nasal septal perforations and evidence of outcomes.
Clinical Otolaryngology 2007 Februrary
Septal obturators and buttons for nasal septal perforations are often poorly tolerated. We describe a new method of obturator construction using three-dimensional imaging which more closely replicates the true anatomy of the defect. Patients were assessed using a questionnaire relating to how symptoms had changed between having no obturator, a conventional obturator and the new CT obturator. Eight of nine patients had an improvement in total symptom scores comparing old obturators to new CT obturators and this was significant with a P-value of 0.018 using Student's paired t-test. The majority of patients were satisfied with the new obturators and reported an overall improvement of symptoms.
