TI  - Septal-turbinate-suture in endonasal sinus surgery.
PG  - 92-4
AB  - The middle turbinate (MT) is an important landmark in sinus surgery with specific 
      functions in the nasal physiology. Because of postoperative instability and 
      corresponding mucosal defects in the middle nasal meatus scar formations between 
      the MT and the lateral nasal wall are frequent. Lateralization and scarring to 
      the lateral nasal wall can be avoided by means of a resorbable mattress suture 
      (septal-turbinate-suture (STS)) through the head of the MT and the septum.
