Retrospective case series reports successful closure of large septal perforations, suggesting effectiveness of costal cartilage grafts.

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a costal cartilage neo-septal block as an interpositional graft for large nasal septal perforations.
Retrospective case series involving 26 patients with large nasal septal perforations.
Closure using a neo-septal block graft prepared from sagittal splitting of costal cartilage slices.
Follow-up duration averaged 44.4 months.
Anatomical closure was achieved in 22 out of 26 patients (84.6%).
Symptoms such as crusting, bleeding, nasal obstruction, and whistling resolved in patients without complete closure.
Mean perforation size was 27.5 × 16.4 mm.
