Extracorporeal Septoplasty is an advanced form of Septoplasty where the septal components are removed outside the body and replaced back after making the desired corrections. Although increasingly finding acceptance, I feel in my hands I rarely need to take out these components out completely. I perform what I call an “in-situ Extracorporeal”Septoplasty … preserving as much of the good septum possible and build around it.
This is a five year result with very satisfactory Functional & Cosmetic results.
