OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) Study outcomes of revision septoplasty using a validated disease-specific questionnaire and a patient satisfaction survey; 2) assess the effect of surgery on the use of medication to treat nasal congestion; and 3) report on sites of persistent septal deviation identified at revision septoplasty. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, single-center outcome study of patients with sy...

Objectives:Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is a common dilemma which cause nasal obstruction. Septoplasty usually accomplished to solve obstruction in patients with NSD. NSD related strongly hypoxia. Hypoxic conditions increase oxidative DNA damage cells. This study aimed investigate the effect of septoplasty on level antioxidant agents marked Methods: Sixty-one who submitted were involved our pro...

Introduction: The study was conducted to asses if septoplasty is adequate for the management of chronic maxillary sinusitis. Chronic maxillary sinusitis is not uncommonly associated with deviated nasal septum (DNS). The randomized study was conducted on 40 cases of medically unmanageable and HRCT proven chronic maxillary sinusitis with DNS. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in 40 c...

UNLABELLED Several studies have investigated the effects of septoplasty on facial growth in children, with conflicting results. However, just handful of those employed objective measures or evaluated patients after facial growth completion. OBJECTIVE This study assesses the effects of the Metzenbaum septoplasty, which preserves the perichondrium and growth-related areas on nasal and facial gr...

AIM To examine the effects, after septoplasty, of local antibiotic pomades as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotic use, which is a controversial matter among the otolaryngologists, on nasal flora and bacterial growth. MATERIAL AND METHOD Nasal packings placed after septoplasty surgery to provide septal stabilization and bleeding control pose a risk in terms of infection. In this study, 1...

Objectives: To assess clinical outcomes and complications with the use of crushed septal cartilage graft in rhinoplasty and nasal septal surgery. Method: A prospective clinical study has done at a tertiary referral centre included 32 patients who underwent crushed cartilage grafting during rhinoplasty and nasal septal surgery with autogenous septal cartilage as the graft material. Slight or mod...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the usefulness of resorbable polydioxanone plate attached to nasal septal cartilage in external septoplasty, to assess its mechanical stability until healing of cartilage fragments, and to describe the surgical technique and clinical experience. DESIGN External septoplasty with polydioxanone plate has been performed in 396 patients since 1996. Indications were severe se...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The microdebrider is a surgical tool which has been used successfully in many endoscopic surgical procedures in otolaryngology. In this study, we analysed our experience using this powered instrument in the resection of obstructive nasal septum deviations.
