Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Nasal obstruction is one of the most frequent among the nasal symptoms affecting the human population. Refinement in the diagnosis and treatment of nasal obstruction is possible with the use of the endoscope. Apart from the abnormalities of lateral nasal wall nasal endoscopy can precisely diagnose the pathological abnormalities of the nasal septum. The objectives of the study were to observe the advantage of using an endoscope intra operatively in patients of deviated nasal septum undergoing conventional septal surgery and to assess the relief of nasal symptoms in patients of deviated nasal septum by conventional septal surgery with an endoscope. Conventional Septoplasty or Sub mucous resection of nasal septum was performed in all the patients to relieve the nasal symptoms. During performing conventional septal surgery zero degree 4 mm endoscope was used intra operatively to observe for remnants of septal deviation or any associated diseases of lateral wall of the nose after an initial conventional septal surgery. In conclusion, the relief of symptoms in the deviated nasal septum was better when an endoscope is used intra operatively in patients of deviated nasal septum undergoing conventional septal surgery. There was a significant relief in nasal symptoms in patients of deviated nasal septum treated by conventional septal surgery with an endoscope. Keywords: Deviated Nasal septum, Septoplasty, Endoscopy.
