Young's procedure in the treatment of epistaxis

Abstract Intractable epistaxis associated with septal perforation is a difficult problem to treat, particularly if nose-picking appears to be associated. Two such cases are presented in which Young's procedure of nasal closure was used to prevent epistaxis. Although the procedure was fully successful in only one patient. we feel the procedure has a part to play in the management of such cases of epistaxis.
