Abstract:
Objective To investigate advantages of sep to plasty under nasal endoscope. Methods Septoplasty was carried out under nasal endoscope in 50 cases, including 6 cases of upper or posterior n asal septum deviation. Results The operation was completed on one session in all the 50 cases, with the deviated nasal septum being entirely c orrected. The operation time was 30~72 min (mean, 48 min). Follow-up surveys for 6~9 months (mean, 7.1 months) indicated a complete cure in 45 cases (90%) and a n improvement in 5 cases (10%). No septal hematoma, abscess, perforation, nasal cavity adhesion, or bridge collapse were encountered. Conclusions Nasal endoscopic septoplasty has advantages of short operation time, few bl ood loss, mild pain, little complications, and the possibility of nasal sinus co -operation. This technique may fully replace the traditional submucous resection .
