Abstract:Background: Mean platelet volume corresponds to average size of platelets and studies proved that large platelets are enzymatically and metabolically more active and have prothrombotic potential. Chronic upper airway like marked nasal septal deviation leads to higher Mean platelet volume and vice versa septoplasty operation lowers the volume of the platelets over a period of time and hence reduces other associated comorbidities. Objectives: This study was done with an aim to analyze the effect of Septoplasty o… Show more
