- Abstract
This article discusses the successful use of a large nasoseptal flap (NSF) to repair a large maxillary sinus floor defect. The case study focuses on a 74-year-old male who experienced a recurrent neck abscess after previous maxillectomy and radiation therapy. The NSF was harvested and rotated into the maxillary sinus to cover the entire sinus floor, resulting in successful closure of the defect. The article highlights the technical nuances of the procedure and suggests that NSFs can be a reliable option for repairing maxillary sinus floor defects when transoral options are not feasible.
