Objective: To assess the degree of satisfaction of patients submitted to septoplasty based on the disease-specific quality of life questionnaire. Methodology: This prospective, descriptive study was conducted from April 2010 to April 2011 at Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Teaching Hospital Abbottabad Pakistan on 256 patients, who underwent septoplasty. Patients were assessed by the Nasal Obstruction Sy...

The aim of this study was to determine the role surgical stress on formation p53-positive and dark neurons (DN) in hippocampus, examine parallelism their pyramidal layer hippocampus. Simulated septoplasty performed 20 Wistar rats. hippocampus dentate gyrus (DG) were examined, which number DN determined at 2, 4 6 days after surgery. Compared with control group (n = 5), increased experimental ani...

Identification of preoperative signs and symptoms that may predict the outcome of surgery is important, for both patient selection and the development of interventions for improving outcomes. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of some selected preoperative signs and symptoms for predicting outcomes of nasal septoplasty. Patients undergoing septoplasty with or without turbinoplast...

INTRODUCTION Nasal irrigation solutions are widely used following endonasal surgery. These irrigation solutions remove infective debris and crusts, reducing the probability of synechia formation, and accelerate mucosal healing. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of nasal irrigation solutions with different contents following septoplasty and concha radiofrequency...

BACKGROUND Sugammadex is a reversal agent with well known advantages but it's effects on haemostasis and bleeding have been a topic of interest. Septoplasty is a common surgical procedure with postoperative respiratory complications and bleeding. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of sugammadex on postoperative coagulation parameters and bleeding after septoplasty procedure. ...

Nasal bone fractures are often accompanied by septal fractures or deformity. Posttraumatic nasal deformity is usually caused by septal fractures. Submucosal resection and septoplasty are commonly used surgical techniques for the correction of septal deviation. However, septal perforation or saddle nose deformity is a known complication of submucosal resection. Hence, we chose to perform septopl...

OBJECTIVES Although nasal polypi frequently arise from the middle meatus, they may occasionally originate from the olfactory cleft. Removal of these polypi may be difficult because of obscure location and concomitant occurrence of septal deviation. This work describes surgical management of olfactory cleft nasal polypi with a combined approach involving septoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery....
