Septal perforation case records document the size of the hole along with previous surgical history and the condition of remaining cartilage. One source article describes a 7×9 mm perforation alongside a history of seven surgeries over 14 years and previous inflammation. Another article notes a 15×10 mm perforation and severe damage to the septal cartilage.
Even with specific measurements provided, cases cannot be compared based on size alone. A record addressing a perforation approaching nearly 2 cm is also linked to a long and complex surgical history. In this collection, you can review the perforation size, damage to surrounding structures, and the reconstruction details from each original record separately. The figures from individual cases should not substitute as criteria for determining your own surgical feasibility or results.

In a case where a 15×10 mm septal perforation and cartilage damage occurred after previous surgery, the perforation was closed with a skin graft and structural support was restored by reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage.
Preoperative condition
Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.
Preoperative condition
A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
To resolve contracture, septal perforation, and cartilage loss that occurred after Gore-Tex surgery performed long ago, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and the perforation was closed.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
In a patient with a history of past surgeries, septal perforation, and saddle nose deformity, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, alar lowering, and direct closure were performed via a closed approach.

Some articles clearly state the size. The source articles in this collection include records of perforations measuring 7×9 mm, 15×10 mm, and nearly 2 cm. However, these are records from different patients and are not part of a comparative study using the same methodology. Check how the number of previous surgeries, history of inflammation, and remaining cartilage status are described alongside the size.
Details beyond size must also be evaluated together. An article discussing a 7×9 mm perforation simultaneously describes repeated surgeries, inflammation, severe septal damage, and structural problems at the nasal tip. Other cases similarly document large perforations together with cartilage loss. To prevent assuming reconstruction techniques or outcomes are identical based solely on similar measurements, the background context of each article has been connected.
