Nasal Obstruction, Quality of Life and Comfort Level in Septorinoplasty Patients: Six-Monthly Monitoring Study

“…These problems may negatively affect the life of the patients and result in a decrease in the QoL (Taylan et al, 2021). In studies evaluating the quality of life in septorhinoplasty patients, it has been reported that the preoperative quality of life of the patients is significantly lower (Bulut et al, 2017;Chavan et al, 2017;Oppermann et al, 2022;Wähmann et al, 2018;Zojaji et al, 2018). In our study, it was determined that the QoL of the patients was low according to the preoperative ROE score and that there was a weak and negative statistically significant correlation between the preoperative NOSE and ROE scores.…”

“…Determination of the symptoms and QoL of patients after surgery using measurement tools specific to the disease is important in preventing possible complications and increasing patient satisfaction, QoL, and comfort (Çelik and Altıntaş;Gerecci et al, 2019;Oppermann et al, 2022;Wähmann et al, 2018;Zojaji et al, 2018). There are studies evaluating the effects of septorhinoplasty on quality of life (Bulut et al, 2017;Chavan et al, 2017;Oppermann et al, 2022;Wähmann et al, 2018;Zojaji et al, 2018) and nasal obstruction (Oppermann et al, 2022;Taylan et al, 2021) and comfort (Taylan et al, 2021). However, no study was detected that simultaneously evaluates the effects of septorhinoplasty on quality of life, nasal obstruction, and comfort with measurements pre-and postoperatively.…”

Outcome of Open Septorhinoplasty Among Patients With Nasal Obstruction and External Nasal Deformity

“…The findings of our study are comparable with a recent study conducted by Chavan and coworkers (2017) who also reported that most of the patients (55.0%) were males and 45.0% were females. [2] During the period of young age, people are more concerned about their appearance and want to look more attractive. It is important to mention that significant majority (65.0%) of patients was 18-25 years old while 35.0% patients were 26-30 years old.…”

“…Open septorhinoplasty is an important cosmetic surgery done by otorhinolaryngologists. [2] Nasal obstruction is a most frequent dilemma in the otolaryngology practice which can occur due to various factors. [3] The causes of nasal obstruction are divided in two components namely fixed and dynamic.…”

“…Therefore, septorhinoplasty is done to improve the QoL by relieving nasal obstructions and it offers better aesthetic appearance by providing better shape of nose. [2] Present study aims to assess the nasal patency and cosmetic improvement among patients visiting ENT Department of Lahore General Hospital Lahore.…”
