Summary

Informed consent for nasal septal surgery requires accurate risk communication. Septoplasty and submucous resection (SMR) have low rates of cosmetic deformity but notable risks of septal perforation, necessitating further research.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Outcomes
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Informed consent is crucial for patient care, particularly regarding surgical risks.
  • Nasal septal surgery, commonly performed by otolaryngologists, carries potential complications affecting quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize complication rates following septoplasty and submucous resection (SMR).
  • To provide evidence-based data to aid surgeons in the informed consent process for nasal septal surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review of studies published over the last 25 years.
  • Inclusion criteria were strictly applied to studies reporting complication rates after septoplasty and SMR.
  • Focus on identifying prospective data, particularly for cosmetic outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Septal perforation rates were 2-8% for SMR and 1.6-5.4% for septoplasty.
  • The incidence of cosmetic deformity was low, ranging from 0-1% for both procedures.
  • A scarcity of prospective data was noted, especially concerning cosmetic effects.

Conclusions:

  • Further well-designed studies are needed to strengthen the evidence base for nasal septal surgery outcomes.
  • The findings provide evidence-based information to support informed consent, complementing surgeon self-auditing.
  • Accurate communication of risks like septal perforation is essential for patient understanding prior to nasal septal surgery.
