Interventions
The batten grafts are autologous grafts from the patients' own tissue, produced from nasal septal quadrangular cartilage. This will be obtained during the septoplasty portion of the procedure. The batten graft will be used to stabilize the internal nasal valve and prevent nasal valve collapse on inspiration.
A portion of the quadrangular cartilage of the nasal septum is removed. This will be performed as a standard septoplasty.
The bilateral inferior turbinates will be surgically ablated.
