Summary
Nasal septum surgery combined with multi-sinus surgery is a safe and effective procedure for treating nasal and sinus diseases. This combined approach achieved a high clinical cure rate of 94.64% with no severe complications.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Surgical Innovation
- Rhinology
Background:
- Nasal septum and sinus diseases significantly impact quality of life.
- Previous treatments often involve multiple surgical procedures.
- A combined surgical approach may offer improved outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of combined nasal septum and multi-sinus surgery.
- To assess the safety and feasibility of this simultaneous surgical approach.
- To determine the impact on recurrence rates for nasal polyps and sinusitis.
Main Methods:
- Fifty-six patients underwent simultaneous nasal septal reconstruction, Caldwell-Lue procedure, polypectomy, ethmoidectomy, and turbinate resection.
- Procedures were performed under local anesthesia.
- Postoperative complications were meticulously observed.
Main Results:
- All 56 operations were successfully completed.
- A clinical cure rate of 94.64% was achieved (30 cured, 23 effective).
- No severe complications were reported during the observation period.
Conclusions:
- Combined nasal septum and multi-sinus surgery is an effective and safe procedure.
- This approach can reduce the recurrence of nasal polyps and sinusitis.
- The combined surgery does not increase the rate of complications.

01:30Epistaxis
Epistaxis, or nosebleeds, occurs when small, swollen blood vessels in the nasal mucous membrane rupture. Typically, the anterior septum is the primary site of occurrence.
Etiology
Possible causes of this condition include high blood pressure, trauma, low humidity, upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, foreign bodies, nasal inhalation of corticosteroids or illicit drugs, excessive use of decongestant nasal sprays, facial or nasal surgery, anatomic malformation, tumors, or systemic...

Nasopharyngeal suctioning is a procedure to remove secretions from the upper part of the respiratory tract that the patient cannot clear independently. It helps maintain airway patency and prevents complications such as aspiration pneumonia.
