Objective: The use of composite chondromucosal nasal septal flaps (ccNSF) has been demonstrated to be effective in cadaveric studies for the anterior skull base and the orbit. However, their application in the clinical setting remains unexplored. Our study aims to introduce a new method for treating palatal defects using ccNSF. Additionally, we studied the average NSF area and compared it to the average palate area. Methods: We collected 108 CT scans from the medical records of patients without head and neck pathologies from a tertiary medical institution. We quantified the quadrangular (septal) cartilage and palate areas. Furthermore, we included a clinical case in which we used the ccNSF for the palatal defect reconstruction. This was to compare the mean area between the palate and the septal cartilage. Results: The ccNSF covered the palatal defect without any significant complications for the first 9 months of follow‐up. A total of 102 CT scans met the inclusion criteria and were measured. We found that the mean quadrangular cartilage had a length of 2.50 (±0.52) cm, a width of 2.28 (±0.51) cm, and an area of 5.43 (±1.68) cm2. The mean palate length was 2.73 (±0.44) cm, with a width of 3.13 (±0.34) cm, and area of 7.87 (±1.43) cm2. Conclusions: The ccNSF proved successful in palatal defect reconstruction, resulting in positive outcomes and no major complications until the 9‐month follow‐up. The ccNSF is a useful flap that avoids the use of free flap transfer and its associated morbidities. Level of Evidence: 4 Laryngoscope, 134:4882–4887, 2024 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
