Analiza porównawcza wyników leczenia zaburzeń drożności nosa z zastosowaniem septoplastyki i septokonchoplastyki
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2014, Vol 68, Issue 3
Abstract
The nasal septal deviation coexistent with turbinate hypertrophy is considered one of the most common causes of nasal patency disorders. There is no doubt that septoplasty in most such cases is a proper treatment method. It is more difficult to clearly identify indications and predict the consequences of septoconchoplasty. The main aim of this study is to compare the impact of each of these procedures on subjective and objective emeasures of nasal patency. The authors retrospectively reviewed 132 medical records of patients treated in the Department of Otolaryngology, Medical University of Warsaw in the period from March 2012 to January 2013 due to nasal obstruction. Each patient had septoplasty or septoconchoplasty performed. Before treatment, each patient responded to questions in a standardized questionnaire SNOT 20. In addition, each patient was performed upon for anterior rhinom anometry before and after shrinking the nasal mucosa. Finally, the studynvolved a group of 30 people – 15 after septoplasty (group A) and the same number after septoconchoplasty (group B), who attended control examination carried out by the same scheme 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery . SNOT 20 poll was repeated 6 months after surgery. Analysis of the rhinomanometry results showed no statistically significant differences between the two treatment groups. Average values of the nasal resistance after surgery as compared to their baseline values in all measurements were smaller in each of the groups but the differen were also not statistically significant. How ever, comparing the results of the subjective assessment of nasal patency and associated signs and symptoms showed statistically significant differences between pre and postoperative results in both groups and the patients of group B felt more improvement than patients in group A. The study authorizes the conclusion that in justified cases septoconchoplasty gives better results than septoplasty.
