Abstract
Background: Nasal septum deviation is a condition whereby the nasal septum shifts which cause chronic nasal congestion, breathing difficulties as well as frequent cases of sinus infection. We also know that it can greatly affect one’s quality of life especially when in the severe stages.
Objectives: To assess the outcome of surgical intervention for the objective of airway correction in patients with nasal septum deviation as to how far it relieves the entailing symptoms.
Study Design: A prospective Study
Place and duration of study. Department Of ENT Khyber Teaching Hospital Peshawar from jan 2021 to july 2021
Methods: of 150 patients aged above thirty-five years, who had setion-III, level-II, significant nasal septum deviation was done using prospective research design. Septorhinoplasty was performed to the patients and a nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) scale was used to assess the patients at preoperative stage and at 6 months after the operation. Quantitative analysis comprised of the use of paired t-tests to test for differences between results before surgery and after the surgery.
Results: Two hundred episodes of 150 patients: 130 of them (86. 7%) proclaimed the improvement in breathing and reduced symptoms measured by the NOSE score decrease in average by 60% (p < 0. 001, SD = 8. 2). The standard deviation aspect provided a clue on the reliability of the results endued across all the patients. Of the patients, 20 (13. 3%) had moderate changes to the condition.
Conclusion: Septal deviation surgery, which is mostly done through septoplasty is known to have high success rates when it comes to the management of nasal obstruction and coexisting symptoms. These findings provide evidence for septoplasty as a conventional procedure for patients with severe nasal blockage caused by septal displacement.
