The Combined Use of the Temporoparietal Fascia Graft and Polycaprolactone Nasal Sheets in Iatrogenic Nasal Septal Perforation Repair.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveMedium- and large-sized iatrogenic nasal septal perforations are difficult to repair. Many techniques using local flaps with or without interposition grafts are used to repair septum perforation. The aim of this study was to describe our surgical technique for repairing iatrogenic nasal septal perforations with medium sized (1-2 cm) and large sized (> 2 cm).
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 15 patients with medium- and large-sized iatrogenic nasal septal perforations treated with a sandwich technique (temporoparietal fascia and polycaprolactone nasal sheet as an interposition graft) by an endoscope-assisted intranasal approach at the Kastamonu Training and Research Hospital from September 2021 to September 2024. Clinical follow-up periods were between 3 and 28 months in duration (mean 12 months).
resultsFifteen patients, nine men and six women, were operated on using this technique. A mean follow-up time is 12 months. Complete closure was achieved in 13 of 15 patients (86.6%). No complications were also occurred in either the early or late postoperative periods.
conclusionAn endoscopic sandwich technique that uses a temporalis fascia polycaprolactone nasal sheet combined as an interpositioning graft to repair iatrogenic nasal septal perforations is described. The transnasal endoscopic sandwich technique for repairing of medium-sized and large-sized iatrogenic nasal septal perforations has a high success rate and is relatively easy to perform.
