The spectrum of surgical techniques in the repair of nasal septal defects is wide. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of using a diced cartilage in fascia (DC-F) graft for successful closure of nasal septal perforations and to evaluate symptom reduction. This was a retrospective study of 18 patients undergoing surgical repair of symptomatic nasoseptal perforations of different etiologies using a DC-F graft from 2020 until 2021. The procedure was feasible in all of the 18 patients. Reconstruction of septal defects with a DC-F graft led to reduction of crust formation, reduction of epistaxis, and improvement of nasal breathing in 13 out of the 18 patients when seen for their 2-month follow-up. Reperforation occurred in three cases, leaving defects of 1, 7, and 5 mm in diameter. In one case, the reperforation was symptomatic. A DC-F graft proved to be a reliable and reproducible method for the closure of nasoseptal perforations of variable sizes, of different locations, and of different etiologies.
