Thank you for your question. The answer is yes and indeed it would be preferable for the repair to take place in a single intervention. The size of the perforation is significant, and correcting it requires commitment to treatment over a period of several months after the surgery using sinus rinse and antibiotic ointment and tablets. Repair of the perforation is generally carried out if it is associated with symptoms like crusting and bleeding and associated breathing problems. If the perforation is asymptomatic, it is also possible to address the deviation of the septum into the nose without repairing the perforation. It is of course possible to repair also asymptomatic perforations. If the perforation is the result of recurrent chemical damage to the nasal septum, this would need to be stopped before attempting the repair and should not occur afterwards.
