Video Summary

The video demonstrates techniques for correcting septal deviation, focusing on cartilage scoring and suturing. Cartilage scoring is performed on the concave side using a septal knife or 15 blade, ensuring cuts are shallow for flexibility. Additional support can include grafts like perpendicular plates or spreader grafts. A clocking suture is then placed on the side opposite the septal deviation, pulling the septum towards the stable nasal bone. Horizontal mattress sutures can also correct deviations, placed according to the curvature needed. These techniques help address both minor and high septal deviations effectively.
