“…NSD negatively affects the MCA, likely due to loss of cilia, increased inflammation, and decreased density of glandular acini [11]. Following a septoplasty, impairment of the MCA is improved with time [8, 9, 16]. …”

“…In review of studies using rhinoscintigraphy in the most recent 14 years [5, 7, 9, 17, 21–23], we have seen that the average NMTRs of healthy individuals range between 4.48 and 17.94 mm/min (mean 8.92 mm/min). In all of these studies, individual NMTRs range between 1.2 and 28.7 mm/min.…”

“…In many studies it has been shown that in addition to a deviated septum causing nasal obstruction, impairment of intranasal airflow, and turbulence [9, 10], a deviated septum negatively affects nasal MCA, likely due to ciliary loss, increased inflammation, and a decreased density in glandular acini [11]. Septoplasty operation has been performed in the treatment of NSD [12, 13].…”

In this study, we have investigated the effect of nasal septal deviation (NSD) on nasal mucociliary activity and how does a septoplasty operation affecs the nasal mucociliary transport rate in the first and third months during the post-operative period. Twenty-two patients who were diagnosed with NSD and 22 healthy controls were studied using rhinoscintigraphy with Tc-99m-macroaggregated albumin (Tc-99m-MAA). On each case, the nasal mucociliary transport rate (NMTR) was measured pre-operatively only on five cases, on the first and third months of post-operative period. The NMTRs of patients with a deviated septum were significantly lower than the NMTRs of the healthy controls on both the convex and concave sides. Significant improvement was observed in the first post-operative month. On the concave and convex sides, the average postop third month post-operative NMTR value was higher than the first month post-operative NMTR values. It was concluded that the septoplasty operation improves reduced NMTRs after surgery. The effect of nasal surgery on nasal mucociliary activity may be more accurately evaluated in the third month than the first month of post-operative period.

“…Coste et al [14] observed that the radiofrequency thermal ablation surgery have preserved the nasal mucociliary functions after only one application. Ulusoy et al [15] observed that before the septal surgery, the nasal mucociliary clearance velocity (NMCV) of concave (10.24 ± 3.96 mm/ min) and convex sides (10.78 ± 3.53 mm/min) of the patients were significantly lower than the control group (17.94 ± 2.89 mm/min). They determined no statistically significant difference between the NMCV of the concave and convex sides.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the nasal mucociliary activity after septoplasty (SP) and external septorhinoplasty (eSRP). Twenty patients who had SP operation (group 1) and 15 patients who had eSRP operation (group 2) were enrolled in the study. On each case, mucociliary clearance (MCC) measurement was performed by saccharine test before surgery, and on the first and third months of postoperative period. Saccharine clearance time (SCT) of 28 healthy volunteers were measured to establish control values. The mean SCT in control group was 8.79 ± 2.63 min, in group 1 patients before surgery was 14.03 ± 1.68 min, in group 2 patients before surgery was 14.34 ± 1.70 min. The preoperative SCT values of the group 1 and group 2 were significantly higher than healthy controls (p \ 0.05). While there were statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative third month SCT values of group 1 patients, and postoperative first month and postoperative third month SCT values of group 1 patients (p \ 0.05), there was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative first and third months SCT values of group 2 patients. Nasal septal deviation impairs the nasal mucociliary activity. Septoplasty operation positively affects the MCC mechanism. On the other hand, we observed no significant effect of eSRP operation on mucociliary activity on the first and third months of postoperative period as compared with preoperative.

“…The exact mechanism for this occurrence is not understood, but previous investigators have also reported more prominent infiltration of inflammatory cells in the less ventilated nasal cavity [2]. In patients with deviated nasal septum the concave nasal cavity has impaired mucociliary transport and increased inflammation in comparison with the convex nasal cavity [2Á4] and the status after septoplasty [5]. The results suggest that association of hypoventilation and rhinosinusitis is not so clear.…”

In patients who underwent TLE, morphological changes occurred in the nasal mucosa. The hyperplasia of the cells in the basal zone was the most remarkable change after TLE. The difference was statistically significant (p=0.0002) in comparison with the control group. No statistically significant difference was shown in the incidence of squamous cell metaplasia. The inflammatory changes in the nasal mucosa were found in only 10% of patients after TLE; in comparison with the control group the statistically significant decrease was proven (p=0.003). The presence of bacteria in the nasal mucosa without any signs of inflammation was demonstrated in 27% of the patients who underwent TLE. That finding was not seen in the control group. The statistically significant difference was demonstrated (p=0.0046).
