Nasal Septum Perforation Repair in Dubai | Anterior Ethmoidal Artery Flap Surgery ✨
Are you experiencing a whistling sound when you breathe, frequent nosebleeds, or nasal crusting? You might be dealing with a nasal septum perforation (NSP)—a condition that affects both your breathing and quality of life. At ENT Clinic of Excellence, we offer expert care and the latest techniques in septal perforation repair in Dubai, including the advanced anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) flap procedure.
👃 What Is Nasal Septum Perforation?
The nasal septum is the wall of cartilage and bone that separates your nostrils. A septal perforation refers to a hole in this structure, which can vary in size and severity.
🧾 Common Causes:
- Repeated nasal trauma (e.g., nose picking or aggressive nasal spray use)
- Complications from septoplasty or other nasal surgeries
- Autoimmune conditions like Wegener’s granulomatosis
- Cocaine or recreational drug use
- Chronic infections or exposure to chemicals
🔍 Symptoms to Watch For
- Difficulty breathing through the nose
- Frequent nasal crusting or dryness
- Recurrent nosebleeds
- A distinct whistling sound while inhaling
- Nasal discomfort or pain
- Visible hole during nasal examination
Left untreated, NSP can worsen over time and lead to chronic discomfort or even nasal collapse in severe cases.
🛠️ Advanced Surgical Repair with the AEA Flap Technique
Many traditional repair techniques fail to fully close larger perforations or result in recurrence. That’s why we use the anterior ethmoidal artery flap, a modern, high-success method that improves both healing and function.
✅ Why the AEA Flap?
- Superior blood supply – promotes faster healing and reduces risk of failure
- High closure success – even for large or previously failed perforations
- Minimal internal scarring – ideal for both functional and cosmetic results
- Better breathing post-op – airflow is typically restored within weeks
🏥 How the Surgery Works: Step by Step
- Consultation & Imaging – Nasal endoscopy and CT scan to assess the perforation
- General Anesthesia – Ensures patient comfort during the procedure
- Flap Creation – A mucosal flap is carefully prepared using the anterior ethmoidal artery
- Precise Rotation & Closure – The flap is rotated to close the perforation and sutured into place
- Post-Surgery Follow-Up – Regular checkups to ensure proper healing and prevent recurrence
💡 Recovery Tips After Septal Perforation Repair
To ensure smooth recovery, we recommend:
✔ Avoid blowing your nose or touching the area
✔ Use saline nasal rinses and antibiotic ointments as prescribed
✔ Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling
✔ Attend all scheduled follow-up visits
Most patients see significant improvement in breathing, nasal comfort, and reduction of symptoms within a few weeks.
