“…Stewart et al 1 and Gandomi et al 4 have shown that nasal obstruction improves significantly within the first three postoperative months, and that this symptom stabilizes by six months after surgery. Jessen et al 14 concluded that an initial improvement of nasal obstruction in the first months to years after surgery becomes progressively undervalued, especially when other causes of obstruction are present, such as chronic rhinitis and sinusitis 1,4 . In our sample, the improvement was significant between the preoperative period and the 7 th postoperative day, followed by a mild improvement between the 14 th and 30 th postoperative day, which remained constant 60 days after surgery (Chart 1).…”

Most studies show that objective measures to quantify and determine surgical success in the treatment of nasal obstruction do not correlate with subjective improvement as reported by patients. Aim To evaluate the subjective improvement of nasal symptoms in patients undergoing septoplasty with or without turbinectomy. Materials and methods A prospective study. We evaluated 72 septoplasty patients with or without partial inferior turbinectomy; the patients answered a questionnaire preoperatively and on the 60th day after surgery. Results Septoplasty was done associated with bilateral partial inferior turbinectomy in 83.3% of patients; it was unilateral in 9.7%; there was no need for turbinate reduction in 6.9%. An improvement of all symptoms was observed after surgery. Nasal obstruction had improved in 68 patients (94.4%) by the 60th postoperative day. The average nasal obstruction score in patients with and without allergic symptoms was similar before surgery and on the 60th postoperative day. Older patients had milder preoperative allergic symptoms. Conclusions Nasal symptoms in patients undergoing septoplasty, with or without turbinectomy, improved. Patients with and without allergic symptoms showed a similar improvement of nasal obstruction on the 60th postoperative day.

“…In our study the relief that was gained at one month after the surgery, was maintained throughout the follow up period of 4 months. One study showed that the benefi ts of septal surgery had dropped considerably after 9 years [14], and another study showed that the benefi t is maintained [15]. Another prospective study was done for a follow up period of two and a half years which showed that the probability of having at least a 50% reduction in blockage decreased from 73% to 60% to 41% and then to 27% at 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and two and half hears respectively [16].…”

were kept in study group, and 45 patients without any intervention were the control. Sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-10), was measured and graded from 0 to 3, depending upon the severity, Z test for mean was used as a statistical tool. R e s u l t s : Total 135 (90 cases and 45 control) patients with deviated nasal septum were included. The total mean SNOT score improvement was from 7.73 (S.D.-3.2) to 2.23 (S.D.-1.69) i.e. 71.13% one month after surgeries. The mean SNOT score improvement was from 6.57 (S.D.-2.36) to 5.88 (S.D.-2.6) i.e. 10.48% after one month in the control groups. There was a statistically significant improvement (p< 0.001) in post operative SNOT-10 score in patients who underwent septoplasty. However, improvement in control group was not found to be statistically significant (p> 0.05) using the same score. Comparison of post-operative SNOT scores between cases and controls was statistically significant. Comparison of difference of SNOT score pre and post operatively between cases and controls using Z test for mean (P<0.001) was also statistically significant.
