Objective. To evaluate the changes in nasal dimensions of healthy Iranian volunteered for cosmetic rhinoplasty after surgery using acoustic rhinometry. Methods. Pre- and postoperative nasal dimension of 36 cases undergoing cosmetic rhinoplasty were compared using acoustic rhinometry (AR), and the measured variables were distance to first and second constriction (d1, d2), first and second minima...

background nasal septal deviation (nsd) can cause upper airway obstruction, which results in hypoxia and therefore, pulmonary vasoconstriction, ventricular hypertrophy and right-sided heart failure. objectives the aim of this study is to determine the mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mpap) of the patients with nsd and the effect of septoplasty on pulmonary arterial pressure. patients and metho...

Background: Nasal obstruction due to deviated septum is commonly treated with conventional septoplasty. This surgery however inadequate in cases of compromised nasal valves and leads persistent symptoms. Hence, we stressed the evaluation before septal & studied outcome patients valve area correction. Aim: To prove significance inner surgery. Objective : analyse Open Methodology:A retrospect...

Monitoring the results of surgery is important. The otorhinolaryngology department of our hospital currently uses preoperative and postoperative versions of the Nasal Surgical Questionnaire (NSQ) for continuous evaluation of nasal septoplasty. In this study, 55 patients undergoing septoplasty answered the preoperative version twice to assess the NSQ's test-retest precision, and 75 patients answ...

Introduction Septum deviation in children may alter the early physiologic process of breathing, causing obligatory oral breathing and consequently changing craniofacial development and even intellect. Because of these consequences, septoplasty should be performed as early as possible. Materials and Methods The retrospective study reviewed the results of septoplasty in 40 children under 12 years...

AIM We aimed to investigate the effect of removal of merocel nasal packings on patients anxiety after septoplasty using Hamilton Anxiety Scale. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total amount of 50 patients who had septoplasty operation in the Department of Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic of our hospital were enrolled to the study. Patients anxiety determined using Hamilton Anxiety Scale. The patients anxiety ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the causes of persistent nasal obstruction of patients after septoplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS After exclusion of allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis, this study included 90 patients with nasal breathing problem who underwent septoplasty at least 4 months ago. After taking full history and completing otorhinologic...

BACKGROUND The symptoms and treatments for nasal obstruction are numerous and common. Yet, a consensus on a surgical approach or, even more importantly, how to define the success of any approach is lacking in the literature. A disease-specific outcomes instrument recently developed by the American Academy of Otolaryngology, known as the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, has all...

Aim: The primary aim of this research was to assess the impact bilateral nasal packing on systolic blood pressure in individuals undergoing septoplasty. Study Design: Retrospective study. Place and Duration: This study conducted at Hospital Dow International Medical College, University Health Sciences Karachi Shahida Islam Lodhran during period from March, 2022 August, 2022. Methods:152 patient...

Introduction: Rhinologists have to be aware of the excruciating pain exerted by nasal packs on its introduction and removal. Thus the validity of need for nasal packing following septoplasty is considered under study for its most painful symptom. Objective: To compare the degree of pain and discomfort in patients with quilting of nasal septum and nasal packing after septoplasty using visual ana...
