Septoplasty is a commonly performed surgical procedure aimed at relieving nasal airway obstruction. The advent of the nasal endoscopes facilitates accurate identification of the pathology. Further limited elevation of the flap, minimal resection and realignment are possible. The present study was conducted for comparison between septoplasty done by the conventional technique and the endoscopic ...

OBJECTIVE To measure the effect of septoplasty on the volume of inferior turbinate in patients with a deviated nasal septum. DESIGN In this retrospective analysis, patients who underwent septoplasty without turbinate surgery from May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2006, were studied. The thicknesses and cross-sectional areas of mucosa and conchal bones were measured with computed tomography befor...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of allergic rhinitis (AR) on septoplasty outcome in terms of subjective and objective measurements and clarify whether patients with nasal septum deviation (NSD) and allergic rhinitis (AR) benefit from septoplasty to the same extent as patients who do not have allergic rhinitis. STUDY DESIGN A prospective study, with consecutive sampling of all patients undergoi...

OBJECTIVE To develop a clinical consensus statement on septoplasty with or without inferior turbinate reduction. METHODS An expert panel of otolaryngologists with no relevant conflicts of interest was assembled to represent general otolaryngology and relevant subspecialty societies. A working definition of septoplasty with or without inferior turbinate reduction and the scope of pertinent oto...

Background and Objective: Septoplasty is one of the most common nasal surgeries. After septoplasty, the nasal pack is routinely used to control bleeding, which can lead to complications such as pain and anxiety. This study aims to compare the effect of septoplasty with and without nasal packing on outcomes and complications of the surgery. Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical tri...

BACKGROUND Septate uterus, one of the most common forms of congenital uterine malformations, negatively affects female reproductive health. METHODS In a retrospective cohort study, we evaluated the reproductive outcome after hysteroscopic septoplasty in 64 women with septate uterus and primary or secondary infertility. We performed a systematic review of studies evaluating the reproductive ou...

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...

Septoplasty is the third frequently application among the otorhinolaryngological surgeries [1]. Traditionally, nasal splint and packing are applied to maintain homeostasis, inhibit hematoma, and prevent the displacement of bone or cartilage grafts and support septal flap following septoplasty [2]. However, studies questioning the routine use of packing have been published in the recent years. I...

Septoplasty is widely used in the treatment of structural nasal obstructions, and it also has a good effect high degree postoperative satisfaction. However, there large number structures demonstrate abnormalities related to obstruction, including external nose, maxilla, cavity paranasal sinus. Nasal septum deviation only one signs obstruction does not represent all possible its surrounding stru...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess and compare nasal symmetry in patients who underwent correction of a complete unilateral cleft lip using the Afroze incision without and with primary septoplasty using a standardized two-dimensional photographic analysis. METHODS A prospective cohort study of 190 consecutive patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and alveolus with cleft ...
