About

Carsten Matuschek is a clinical researcher whose work centers on otolaryngology and the surgical management of nasal septum perforations (NSP). His primary contributions lie in advancing endoscopic measurement techniques and patient-specific implant design for NSP closure. Notably, his 2021 study "Endoscopic measurement of nasal septum perforations" (8 citations) established a precise, minimally invasive method for assessing perforation dimensions, directly improving the fit and efficacy of custom implants. By comparing traditional silicone impressions with 3D CT-derived models, Matuschek demonstrated that endoscopic measurement can reduce patient discomfort and streamline preoperative planning. His research bridges the gap between clinical endoscopy and digital fabrication, offering practical solutions for a condition that severely impacts quality of life. Though his citation count is modest, his work is foundational for surgeons seeking reproducible, patient-tailored outcomes. Matuschek’s focus on translational innovation—from bedside measurement to implant production—positions him as a key figure in refining NSP treatment protocols, with potential to reduce revision surgeries and improve long-term patient satisfaction.
