Background: The controversy of pediatric septoplasty exists. Septoplasty is an uncommon procedure in populations. Still, there a lack consensus about the age and extent this group. Moreover, delayed surgical correction septal deviation may adversely affect normal nasal facial growth. There recent trend toward major cartilage work patients with severe deviation.The aims study are to evaluate hea...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS 1) Study outcomes of revision septoplasty using a validated disease-specific questionnaire and a patient satisfaction survey; 2) assess the effect of surgery on the use of medication to treat nasal congestion; and 3) report on sites of persistent septal deviation identified at revision septoplasty. STUDY DESIGN Prospective, single-center outcome study of patients with sy...

The aimed of this study was to compare 2 different concentration of adrenaline (epinephrine) on patients’ hemodynamic effect and intra-operative bleeding. A prospective randomized double blind control study using 2 different concentrations of epinephrine was designed to observe hemodynamic and haemostatic changes during septoplasty and to observe any cardiac complications. Sixty patients underw...

BACKGROUND Nasal septal surgery and rhinoplasty are controversial in children. Traditionally, an attitude of restraint has been employed by most surgeons till an empirical age of 16 to 18 years.

BACKGROUND The use of a resorbable implant connected with septal cartilage would facilitate external septoplasty, offering mechanical stability until the cartilage fragments heal. OBJECTIVE To study the histological and clinical results of septoplasty with a resorbable implant (polydioxanone [PDS; Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany]) in conjunction with cartilage. DESIGN To provide histological ...
