Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Nasal endoscopy is standard for diagnosis and sinus surgery.
  • Traditional septoplasty uses headlight approaches.
  • Powered instrumentation can enhance nasal septal surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Powered Endoscopic Nasal Septum Surgery (PENSS).
  • To assess PENSS as an alternative to traditional septoplasty techniques.

Main Methods:

  • PENSS was performed on 2,730 patients over 8 years.
  • Video assistance provided enhanced visualization of the surgical field.
  • Patients underwent post-operative evaluation at regular intervals.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • PENSS limits dissection to the deviated area, reducing subperichondrial dissection extent.
  • The procedure is valuable for patients with prior septal cartilage resection.
  • No delayed complications were reported in the study cohort.

    • Conclusions:

    • PENSS is an easy, effective, and quick alternative to traditional septoplasty.
    • Endoscopic resection of septal deformities can be safely performed alone or with sinus surgery.
    • PENSS offers minimal additional morbidity.
