Introduction: Deviated nasal septum is one of the most common causes for the nasal obstruction. The objective of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes in patients undergoing conventional septoplasty and endoscopic septoplasty in the management of deviated nasal septum. Methods:  Prospective comparative study was conducted on 60 patients who presented to the Department of ENT, College of Medical sciences, during a period of one year. The severity of the symptoms was subjectively assessed using NOSE score and objectively assessed using modified Gertner plate. Results: There was significant improvement in functional outcome like NOSE Score and area over the Gertner plate among patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty. Significant difference in incidence of post-operative nasal synechae and haemorrhage was seen in conventional group compared to endoscopic group. Conclusions: Endoscopic surgery is an evolutionary step towards solving the problems related to deviated nasal septum. It is safe, effective and conservative, alternative to conventional septal surgery.

Abstract Background The inferior nasal turbinates have important role in the maintenance of nasal breathing function by providing the nasal valve mechanism necessary for the regulation of air flow through the nose. Hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinates are the second most common cause of chronic nasal obstruction. Our aim of this study is to evaluate the morphological and histopathological features of hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate in Egyptian patients. Methods Our descriptive comparative study was carried on 30 patients presented with hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate by clinical and radiological assessment. Patients are divided into two groups according to CT scan and endoscopic examination as group A for patients with deviated nasal septum with compensatory hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate and group B for patients with hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate due to allergic rhinosinusitis. Both groups underwent the same operation which partial controlled posterior inferior turbinectomy. During the period from June 2018 till May 2019, patients were selected from out-patient’s clinic of Otorhinolaryngology Department at Menoufia University Hospital and Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital, and Military Hospital. Results By histopathological examination of the specimens, we found out that the bony layer thickness was more prominent in group A and the mucosal layer thickness was more prominent in group B. The prominent inflammatory cells were lymphocytes in group A and eosinophils plus mast cells in group B. Conclusion The bony layer thickness should be excised during the surgical treatment of cases presented with deviated nasal septum with hypertrophied inferior turbinate where in cases of allergic rhinitis with hypertrophied inferior turbinate, the mucosal layer is enough to be excised.

Abstract Background Performing nasal surgery on children has been the subject of controversy among surgeons. Specifically, the indications for and timing of septoplasty in children have been debated for the last several decades. In this study, we access the efficacy of the modified Goldman’s technique in dealing with caudal septal deviation in pediatric population suffering from severe nasal obstruction and its effect on nasal functions postoperatively. In this study, 30 pediatric patients suffering from deviated nasal septum who are candidate for septoplasty were included and underwent open septoplasty using modified Goldman’s technique. They were subjected to detailed assessment protocol preoperatively including NOSE scale, anterior rhinomanometry, and CT scans. Follow-up assessment was done at second week postoperative including anterior rhinoscopy and nasal endoscopy and 3 months postoperative including NOSE scale and anterior rhinomanometry. Results There was a statistically significant decrease of the NOSE scale severity to none in 90% of cases. Three months postoperative, all of the patients performed postoperative anterior active rhinomanometry with statistically significant decrease in the postoperative total nasal resistance values with inspiratory values ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 Pa/cm3/s with mean of 0.26 Pa/cm3/s and expiratory nasal resistance values ranging from 0.1 to 0.6 Pa/cm3/s with mean of 0.31 Pa/cm3/s. Conclusions Open septoplasty in children using the modified Goldman’s technique has enabled accurate and conservative approach for correction of nasal septal deviation especially those located in the caudal septal region. The technique also offers a significant reduction of the nasal symptoms postoperatively with marked improvement of the nasal resistance and quality of life in severe cases of deviated nasal septum.

AbstractThe authors have used the nasal endoscope for the precise identification of pathological abnormalities of the nasal septum in relation to the lateral nasal wall including the osteo-meatal complex and in its ultraconservative management. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacies of endoscope-aided septoplasty (EAS) over traditional septoplasty (TS) in treating the pathological septum and turbinates, performed in 30 cases each. The subjective assessment was carried out by visual analogue scores and objective assessment by nasal endoscopy. This study demonstrates the superiority and limitations of the endoscopic approach in managing a deviated nasal septum and the turbinates. The endoscope-aided technique was found to be more effective in relieving the contact areas and nasal obstruction (p = ≤0.05). The authors advocate a combined approach – an endoscopic approach for inaccessible posterior deviation and the conservative traditional technique for accessible anterior deviation of the nasal septum.

<p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Background: </span></strong>Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a common condition with various factors affecting its occurrence. The study was aimed to find the prevalence of DNS in newborns.</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Methods: </span></strong>The present study was a cross sectional study conducted in the SMGS hospital, GMC Jammu. A sample size of 200 newborns, less than 7 days of age were included in the study. 200 newborns in the postnatal wards were examined in the present cross-section observational study including the age ranging from 1 day to 5 days.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Results: </span></strong>Prevalence of DNS in the present study was 29%. 103 babies were born to the primipara mothers out of which 39 (37.86%) had DNS while only 19 (19.58%) out of 97 babies born to the multipara mothers had the DNS. The newborns with higher birth weight had higher incidence of having DNS. 41.17% of the newborns with weight of &gt;3 kg had DNS as compared to those in 2 to 2.5 kg group (17.28%) and &lt;2 kg group (11.76%).</p><p class="abstract"><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions: </span></strong>DNS is a common finding since birth which may persist in later life. Routine examination of the newborns specifically regarding the nose should be done to detect the septal deviations at earliest so that active intervention can be done when required.</p>

Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS) has heavy implications on the quality of life and has a prevalence of about 46.1 % in northern India with similar pattern across the country.This research has been undertaken to study the presentation and causative factors for CRS in central India. Data of 100 patients diagnosed as CRS was studied. Patients presented with nasal obstruction and nasal discharge at large. Nasal polyps were seen in 37% cases. The most common associated etiopathological factor was anatomical obstruction due to deviated nasal septum.
