Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic septoplasty is increasingly documented in recent literature.
  • Traditional septoplasty may limit visualization of posterior nasal structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the authors' experience with endoscopic septoplasty in a series of 47 patients.
  • To discuss the surgical technique and evaluate patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic use of the endoscope for all septal and turbinate surgeries.
  • Patient outcomes assessed via telephone survey, validated disease-specific health status measure, and global rating questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic approach provides direct access, improved visualization, and magnification.
  • Facilitates evaluation of posterior septal deformities, turbinate involvement, and middle meatus.
  • Enables objective documentation of nasal obstruction causes and aids outcome assessment.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic septoplasty offers significant advantages in visualization and assessment of nasal structures.
  • The technique is effective for treating nasal obstruction and serves as a valuable teaching method.
