Abstract
Objective:
To analyse the causes of unsuccessful septoplasty.
Method:
28 cases were investigated by high-resolution CT scan and nasal endoscopy. Another operation was completed in endoscopic sinus surgery.
Result:
16 upper or posterior nasal septal deviation and 12 paraseptal structural deformities and chronic sinus diseases were observed, which were neglected in the first operation.
Conclusion:
Before septoplasty, CT and endoscopic evaluation of the paranasal sinuses and paraseptal structures should be performed and accompanied nasal diseases should be considered.
