INTRODUCTION Surgical and medical treatments of nasal obstruction are a common parts of otolaryngologist practice. The definitive treatment of deviated nasal septum is septoplasty. AIM In this study was to evaluate the values of subjective parameters, and active anterior rhinomanometry parameters prior and three months after the septoplasty. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the subjective p...

Introduction  Since the last century surgical correction of nasal septum deviation has been improved. The Universal Eclectic Technique was recently reported and there are still few studies dedicated to address this surgical approach. Objective  The objective of this study is to compare the results of septal deviation correction achieved using the Universal Eclectic Technique (UET) with those ob...

The septoplasty makes the nose altered and improved.. shape contour of are greatly influenced by nasal septum, septorhinoplasty is to improve appearance (rhinoplasty) how you breathe through (septoplasty). It involves operating on bones cartilage that give structure making septum straight. bone in nose. divides cavity into a right left side. evaluation effectiveness spectrum septrorhinoplasty q...

Objectives. Septoplasty operation is a very common procedure and can be performed with endoscopic or conventional techniques. In some cases, preoperative nasal endoscopy can not be performed due to severe anterior deviations, and computerized tomography assessment causes to radiation exposure and increased cost. Our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of final endoscopic control in convent...

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of a trans-septum suturing technique with conventional nasal packing and intranasal splints in the classic septoplasty operation. The study is a prospective, randomized clinical trial. 114 patients underwent septoplasty for septal deviation and ensuing nasal obstruction. These patients were divided into two groups: packing (using intranasal sept...

OBJECTIVE To compare Rapid Rhino and Merocel packs for nasal packing after septoplasty, in terms of patient tolerance (both with the pack in place and during removal) and post-operative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients (aged 18-40 years) scheduled for septoplasty were included. Following surgery, one nasal cavity was packed with Rapid Rhino and the other one with Merocel. ...

Diced rib cartilage is an acceptable option in severe nasal deformities. We present our preliminary experience in KAMC in nasal septoplasties using the autologous diced costal cartilage. This is a retrospective study of the 22 cases who needed the autologous diced costal cartilage in our centre in 4 years. All our patients needed autologous diced rib cartilages. Twelve were wrapped with tempora...

OBJECTIVES Nasal septal deviation is a frequent cause of increased nasal airway resistance. A narrow nasal airway would result in a decreased airflow into the lungs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the alterations of the pulmonary functions following septoplasty using spirometry and 6 minutes walking test (6mWT). And reveal the correlation of symptom score improvement with nasal ob...

The use of antibiotics in septoplasty is a common practice among most ear, nose, and throat doctors; however, there are few studies proving the efficacy, which is considered as unnecessary by some authors. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of two different kinds of antimicrobial agent on efficacy and safety after septoplasty surgery and to show that use of cephazolin, 1.0 g...
