Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Traditional open septoplasty can be invasive.
  • Endoscopic septoplasty (ES) is emerging as a less invasive alternative.
  • Understanding ES benefits and limitations is crucial for surgical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the authors' experience with endoscopic septoplasty (ES).
  • To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of ES.
  • To introduce a novel classification system for septal deviations tailored to the endoscopic approach.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of endoscopic septoplasty cases.
  • Detailed description of the surgical technique.
  • Development and application of a new classification for septal deviations.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic septoplasty demonstrates significant advantages in specific patient populations.
  • ES is particularly effective for correcting nasal valve obstruction.
  • The novel classification system aids in planning and executing endoscopic septoplasty.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic septoplasty is a valuable and increasingly popular surgical technique.
  • ES offers a favorable risk-benefit profile compared to open approaches.
  • The proposed classification system enhances the precision of endoscopic septal surgery.
