Between June 1972 and November 1977, 108 patients had medical-grade Silastic buttons inserted transnasally into a perforation of the nasal septum. This nonsurgical technique was done as an office procedure with use of 5% cocaine applied topically in 97 of the 108 patients. The Silastic button has remained in place in 70.4% of the patients, with follow-up ranging from 9 months to 6 years. This mechanical device is inserted easily and has reduced crusting and bleeding considerably in many patients. The failures frequently were related to patient intolerance or poor mechanical fit and occurred in the first few days or first few months after insertion.
1972年6月至1977年11月期间，108例患者经鼻将医用级硅橡胶纽扣置入鼻中隔穿孔处。这项非手术技术作为门诊操作进行，108例患者中有97例局部应用了5%的可卡因。硅橡胶纽扣在70.4%的患者中保持在位，随访时间为9个月至6年。这种机械装置易于插入，并且在许多患者中显著减少了结痂和出血。失败情况常常与患者不耐受或机械贴合不佳有关，发生在插入后的头几天或头几个月。
