Background: Nasal septal deviation is of both congenital and traumatic etiology, found among children and adults and many of whom require corrective surgery. Recently endoscopy assisted nasal septal correction surgery is being performed in many centers as a preferred one. Hence it was decided to find out the postoperative outcomes among those who underwent both the types of surgical procedures.Methods: A total of 50 patients with septal deviation underwent conventional surgery and another 50 operated with endoscopy assisted method were considered for this study. Both groups were followed up for postoperative outcomes and relief of symptoms after 48 hours, 8 weeks and 24 weeks for statistical analysis. Results: Head ache, watering of eyes and nasal obstruction were found significantly less in endoscopy assisted nasal septal correction during the first 48 hours and 8 weeks when compared with conventional surgery and it became negligible after 24 weeks of postoperative period.Conclusions: Endoscopy assisted surgery is convenient in targeting the surgical site with less trauma and less requirement of time to perform the surgery. However, the initial cost would be higher for installation of endoscopy and maintenance.

“…Nowadays, ventriculostomy of the third cerebral ventricle plays a significant role in the treatment of pediatric hydrocephalus. However, the long-term changes in intracranial dynamics after successful ETV have not been clearly described [215,217,318,[331][332][333]. The definition of successful ventriculostomy of the third cerebral ventricle also includes radiological criteria, emphasizing the clinical criteria [334].…”

“…[5, 7, 8] Around the same time, in England, Hugh Griffith (1930 – 1993) recommended the endoscopic procedure as “a first line treatment for childhood hydrocephalus.” He used Hopkins’ rigid endoscope to perform third ventriculostomy as well as choroid plexus coagulation to treat hydrocephalus [8, 10]. In 1976, Harold Hoffman (1932 – 2004) performed a series of endoscopic third ventriculostomies using stereotactic guidance and in 1980, he noted that the percutaneous stereotactic-guided approach yielded better results than open craniotomy [11, 20, 21]. In 1977, Michael Apuzzo (born 1940) became the first to use a side-viewing wide-angled lens in neuroendoscopy [5].…”

Background Endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) has become one of the most common neuroendoscopic procedures. Methods In this article, we will review the major milestones in the history of ETV development from its early use by Walter Dandy to the techniques currently employed with advanced technology. Conclusions ETV has become an important technique in the armamentarium of the neurosurgeon. From a meager beginning with few applications, our knowledge of long-term outcomes has evolved. ETV has a rich history and more recently, has had a renewed interest in its use. Our current understanding of its indications is growing and is based on a century of development through trial and error.
