How I Do It: Nasoseptal Flap for Reconstruction of Isolated Soft Palate Defect

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
A vascularized nasoseptal flap (NSF) provides a novel transnasal option for repairing soft palatal fistulas when traditional transoral flaps have failed or are unavailable, potentially avoiding the morbidity of regional or free tissue transfer. In the current patient who had an 8 × 6 mm soft palatal fistula, the NSF was harvested from the septum and ...
