Minimally Invasive Cutting and Suture Technique for the Management of Caudal Septal Deviation
The improvement of nasal obstruction using MICST is equivalent to that of CST. Compared to conventional methods, MICST results in the more conservative treatment of the nasal septal cartilage, carries a smaller risk of external nasal deformity, allows correction of dorsal deviation, and does not require a batten graft. The procedure is straightforward and can be performed in a short time.
