Abstract
A study was conducted to assess the advantages of endoscopic septoplasty over the conventional septoplasty.Sixty patients having symptomatic deviated nasal septal were randomly divided into two groups of 30 patients each. One group underwent conventional septoplasty and the other group underwent endoscopic septoplasty. The groups were compared regarding the relief of symptoms after surgery and complications.The symptoms postoperatively and the objective assessment were significantly less in endoscopic septoplasty group.Endoscopic septoplasty is a fast developing concept and gaining popularity as it provides a direct targeted approach to the septal anatomic deformity, allowing a minimally invasive procedure with limit septal mucosal flap dissection and removal of small cartilaginous and/or bony deformity.
