OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in mucociliary clearance, histologic characteristics, and surface structure of the bilateral nasal septal mucosa in patients with nasal septal deviation. DESIGN Mucociliary transport was measured by saccharin clearance time in both nasal cavities of 20 patients with nasal septal deviation. Their septal mucosae were taken during septoplasty, and the ciliary...

background and objectives: nasal polyposis is a diseases resulting from complex pathogenetic mechanisms. some studies showed that tgfβ1 had significant role in this pathogenesis. in this study, we investigated the roe of cytokines and mediators in polyp development. material and methods: in this case- control study, healthy nasal mucosal samples were obtained from 24 people undergoing septoplas...

INTRODUCTION The main reason for nasal tampon placement after septoplasty is to prevent postoperative hemorrhage, while the secondary purpose is internal stabilization after operations involving the cartilaginous-bony skeleton of the nose. Silicone intranasal splints are as successful as other materials in controlling postoperative hemorrhages of septal origin. The possibility of leaving the sp...

The crooked nose is unquestionably the most severe deformity of the nasal septum due to the simultaneous involvement of very important functional and aesthetic elements. As everyday interpersonal relations are primarily conducted face-to-face, deviation of the nasal pyramid from the median line is immediately obvious even to the least observant. The surgical procedures used to address this path...

BACKGROUND Nasal septal deviation may affect nasal bone growth and facial morphology. Knowledge of nasal morphologic parameters may plays an important role in planning successful rhinoplasty and septoplasty operation. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between the direction and degree of nasal septal deviation with nasal bone morphology, along with factors such as age and gen...

Introduction: Endonasal septoplasty is almost no effect on the tip support mechanism. However, it has the difficulties in exfoliation of muciperichondrial flap and narrow view of the surgical area. Therefore, Author have devised incision method that can more easily exfoliate and more effectively expose the nasal septum that the existing approach method and I am making report of the comparison o...
