Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 60
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review 72 patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty over a period of three years. STUDY DESIGN Prospective Study. RESULTS Out of 72 cases, 53 cases were performed alone as a primary procedure, 19 cases were performed in conjunction with endoscopic sinus surgery, 39 cases were presented with spur, 24 cases with broadly-based deviations, 9 were traumatic deviations. There were 46 males and 26 were female. CONCLUSION Endoscopic septoplasty offers an alternative to conventional septoplasty with superior visualisation and minimal trauma. Endoscopic septoplasty helps in better correction of complex deformities and in correcting high deviations. It facilitates realignment by limited and precise resection of the deviated area. It effectively relieves headache caused by contact areas in nasal cavity especially in cases of septal spur
