ABSTRACT Nasal obstruction due to deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a common problem encountered by otolaryngologists. A variety of surgical procedures have been tried in the treatment of the same. This study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes and complications of endoscopic and conventional septoplasty. This prospective, randomized study was conducted on 50 patients with symptomatic DNS, 25 of whom underwent conventional septoplasty, and the rest underwent endoscopic septoplasty. It was found that it is easier to correct posterior deviations and isolated spurs with endoscopic septoplasty with less complications and good results.

ABSTRACT Introduction Nasal obstruction due to deviated nasal septum is a common problem encountered by otolaryngologists. A variety of surgical procedures have been tried in the treatment of the same. Objective This study was conducted to evaluate the outcomes and complications of endoscopic and conventional septoplasty. Materials and methods This is a prospective, randomized study done in Government Medical College, Latur in which 52 patients with symptomatic deviated nasal septum were included in the study. Eighteen of them underwent conventional septoplasty and the rest had endoscopic septoplasty. Results The difference in the functional outcome of both the surgeries was insignificant. Endoscopic septoplasty had better outcome with respect to complications and proved as an easier method to correct posterior deviations and isolated spurs. Conclusion Endoscopic septoplasty allows accurate, conservative repair of obstructive nasal septum deviations, with fewer complications and better functional results compared to conventional septoplasty.

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.

BACKGROUND: Nasal obstruction is a common presenting symptom which otolaryngologists encounter in daily clinical practice. One of the most common cause of nasal obstruction is deviated nasal septum(DNS). DNS to one side is associated with overgrowth of inferior turbinate on the contralateral side. Septoplasty alone or septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction is the mode of treatment but that depends upon the decision of the operative surgeon. In this study we aim to collect data and come to a conclusion as to which surgery is benecial for the patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: (1) To compare the symptomatic improvement of nasal symptoms following septoplasty with partial inferior turbinectomy versus septoplasty alone by NOSE Scale. (2) To corroborate the subjective ndings of NOSE Scale by rhinomanometry and nasal endoscopy. METHODOLOGY: A prospective and comparative study was done on 60 patients over a period of 1 year in a tertiary care centre. Patients were alternatively divided into two surgical groups Group A- septoplasty with partial inferior turbinectomy and Group B- septoplasty alone. Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation(NOSE) was used for subjective evaluation of nasal symptoms. Rhinomanometry was used as a tool for objective evaluation of symptoms. Data was analysed using tables, graph and percentage and test of signicance. Post operative improvement RESULTS: following both group A septoplasty with partial inferior turbinectomy and group B Septoplasty alone was signicant at post op 1,3 and 6 months respectively. When both groups were compared those undergoing partial inferior turbinectomy with septoplasty had highly signicant results by NOSE scale as well as rhinomanometry and endoscopy. This study showed tha CONCLUSION: t hypertrophied turbinate need to be addressed in chronic cases of nasal obstruction with deviated nasal symptom with contralateral turbinate hypertrophy. Thus we can conclude that partial inferior turbinectomy should be done in addition to septoplasty as it is a highly effective modality for treatment of nasal obstruction in patients of nasal obstruction in patients with deviated nasal septum.

AbstractBACKGROUND. Nasal septum deviations are disorders in which the nasal septum has an abnormal conformation that affects nasal breathing. Surgical correction of the deviated nasal septum, performed by various techniques, is one of the methods of repermeabilization of the upper airway. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic surgical treatment of the nasal septum deviation on the nasal obstruction, as well as to evaluate the frequency of postoperative complications compared to classical septoplasty.MATERIAL AND METHODS. A retrospective longitudinal study was performed on a group of 92 patients diagnosed with nasal septal deviation, between 2014-2018. 32 patients were excluded from the study after the exclusion criteria were applied. Two groups of 30 patients each were formed: Group I, endoscopic septoplasty was performed; Group II, the conventional septoplasty was used. An objective endoscopic and rhinomanometric evaluation, as well as a subjective assessment of symptoms (nasal obstruction, headache, posterior rhinorrhea, sneezing), was performed preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively.RESULTS. The study showed better results (p<0.05) and fewer complications in endoscopic septoplasty compared to the traditional one, the endoscopic septoplasty providing better lighting and improved access, allowing a limited incision.CONCLUSION. Endoscopic septoplasty can be considered a reliable alternative to traditional techniques. It is essential to correctly identify the type of preoperative deformity in order to select the appropriate surgical strategy.

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.
