<p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background: </span></strong>The aim of the study was to study the advantages and disadvantages of endoscopic septoplasty and conventional septoplasty and to co-relate the two procedures in terms of intra-operative visualization, duration of surgery, procedural difficulties, hospital stay and complications.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods: </span></strong>It is a prospective study done during November 2017 to April 2019 on 50 patients with symptomatic deviated nasal septum. Patients were randomly divided into conventional septoplasty and endoscopic septoplasty groups of 25 each. Surgery was performed as according to the division. Followed up on 1st week, 15th day, 1st month and 3rd month.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results: </span></strong>In endoscopic septoplasty group, septal pathology, precise correction of the pathology, with less complications were seen. Hospital stay and duration of surgery were significantly less in endoscopic group.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions: </span></strong>For minimal and posterior deviations of the septum, endoscopic septoplasty is better, whereas for anterior deviations, conventional septoplasty could be better choice.</p>

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a commonly occurring clinical condition that often causes nasal obstruction. This study, included two groups of subjects 100 each. The group A consists of subjects having DNS with nasal symptoms. The group B consists of subjects having DNS without nasal symptoms but with ear and throat symptoms. The present study makes an effort to review the types and its associated pathology.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study was carried out in the Department of ENT, Government Medical College and Hospital, Nagpur from September 2016 to October 2018. Data was collected and analysed.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The mean age 31.17 years in group A and 30.07 years in group B, with male to female ratio of 1.17:1 in group A and 1.04:1 in group B. Left-sided septal deviation was more common than right-sided deviation. The most common symptoms in group A was nasal obstruction (94%) and in group B was otorrhoea (80%)."C" shaped DNS was the most common type in both the groups. Out of total 200 subjects comprising both the groups, 70 (35%) subjects had significant sinonasal disease, 138 (69%) subjects had ear pathology, 69 (34.5%) had Eustachian tube dysfunction, 35 (17.5%) had throat pathology. In this study, “S” shaped deviation was more prone to be associated with ENT pathology.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> “S” shaped DNS was maximally associated with sinonasal pathology and there was a high correlation between the side of septal deviation to the side of ear pathology, particularly in asymptomatic DNS.</p><p> </p>
