Potential use of bioresorbable poly-D-L-lactic acid (PDLLA) plates in rhinoseptoplasty

In carefully selected patients, PDLLA plates appear to be a biocompatible and technically feasible adjunct in rhinoseptoplasty, facilitating septal reconstruction, eliminating donor-site morbidity, and yielding improvements in both patient-reported nasal function and aesthetic outcomes. These preliminary findings support further investigation in larger, controlled studies.
