The potential application of laser cartilage reshaping (LCR) for correction of septal deviations has generated increasing clinical interest, because septoplasty is among the top five most common operations performed. However, few studies have investigated stress fields existing in the nasal septal cartilage during LCR of septal deviations. The objectives of this study were to: (1) formulate a finite-element model describing stress fields in mechanically straightened septal cartilage, (2) calculate stress fields in the septum after a given pattern of laser irradiation produced thermally induced stress relaxation in selected sites, and (3) investigate the dependence of the overall stress relaxation in a straightened septum as a function of the number, location, and size of laser irradiation sites.
