Abstract: Septoplasty is known to be one of the most common surgeries practiced among otolaryngologist being the third most common surgery. Usually, patients will present with unilateral nasal obstruction or other feature of a deviated nasal septum. In our article, we aim to publish our technique which is a figure-of-eight fashion of suturing the mucosa, by utilizing both sides of the mucosa. Our method is a technically easy procedure, faster to learn and master by the surgeon and there will be no exposed cartilage which will lead to decrease probability of crust formation and by obliterating the dead space created by the resected cartilage will decrease the likelihood of hematoma incidence.
