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...

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 ...

Anterior nasal packing after septoplasty is commonly employed by most of otorhinolaryngologists for haemostasis and splintage action. However it has complications which are usually manageable but rarely can become fatal particularly in high risk patients. Objectives: Present study was aimed to find out significance of ventilating nasal packing after septoplasty to minimize complications of nasa...

When a patient requesting rhinoplasty also complains of nasal obstruction, it is critical to accurately diagnose the cause. The author reviews diagnostic procedures, including anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy, and coronal-sinus computed tomography scan. He discusses technical aspects of septoplasty and turbinate surgery, which address common causes of nasal obstruction, emphasizing traditio...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of septal deviation, septoplasty, and smoking upon nasal mucociliary clearance by using saccharine test. METHODS Included in this study were 40 patients (15 women and 25 men) who had septal deviation and septoplasty surgery performed between March and June 2006. Patients are classified into three groups: group I (n = 20) nonsmoking patients who had septopl...

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...

Septoplasty is one of the most common otorhinolaryngologic surgical procedure. It is customary to place a pack in the nose as a part of nasal surgery to stop bleeding, enhance apposition of mucosal flaps, and stabilize the operated septal cartilage and bones. But nasal packing is not an innocuous procedure. The most common problem encountered by the patients after septoplasty with nasal pack is...

BACKGROUND Septoplasty, i.e., surgical correction of the deviated nasal septum, is the most common ear, nose and throat (ENT) operation in adults. Currently the main indication to perform septoplasty is nasal obstruction. However, the effectiveness of septoplasty for nasal obstruction in adults with a deviated nasal septum remains uncertain. Scientific evidence is scarce and inconclusive, and i...

IMPORTANCE Patients with a septal deviation and concerns about nasal obstruction often undergo septoplasty to improve nasal airflow. Following primary septoplasty, however, some patients have persistent symptoms due to nasal valve dysfunction and may require nasal valve surgery. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the change in disease-specific quality of life for patients who undergo nasal valve correcti...

Background: nasal blockage is one of the commonest presentation to otolaryngology outpatients department. Deviated nasal septum is one of the commonest cause for the nasal blockage. The deviated septum can be corrected by various procedures amongst which septoplasty is commonly performed. Which can be either conventional type or endoscopic type. Aims and Objectives: The study aims to compare th...
