Summary
This study details an endoscopic septoplasty technique, achieving 97% satisfactory results. It is a viable option unless significant anterior columellar deviation is present.
Area of Science:
- Otolaryngology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Nasal septum deviation impacts breathing and quality of life.
- Traditional septoplasty can be invasive.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a detailed endoscopic septoplasty technique.
- To outline technical challenges and tips for endoscopic septoplasty.
Main Methods:
- A 10-step endoscopic septoplasty procedure is described.
- Key steps include mucosal flap dissection, cartilage resection, and maxillary crest management.
- Silastic stents are used for mucosal closure.
Main Results:
- The endoscopic septoplasty technique demonstrated a 97% satisfactory outcome at 3 months post-operation.
- The primary contraindication identified was significant anterior columellar deviation.
Conclusions:
- Endoscopic septoplasty is an effective technique for correcting nasal septum deviation.
- Careful patient selection is crucial, avoiding cases with severe anterior columellar deviation.

01:26Tracheostomy Suctioning I: Pre-Procedural Steps
3.3K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a critical procedure healthcare professionals perform to maintain a patent airway in patients with a tracheostomy tube. This procedure is necessary when secretions accumulate in the airway, causing respiratory distress. Here is a step-wise procedural guide for performing tracheostomy suctioning using an open system.
Equipment Required
First, gather all necessary equipment: a sterile suction catheter, a sterile disposable container, sterile gloves, a towel or...

3.1K
Tracheostomy suctioning is a vital nursing procedure that involves removing secretions from the tracheostomy tube to maintain airway patency and prevent respiratory complications. Nurses need to understand the proper technique for tracheostomy suctioning to ensure patient safety and comfort. In this guide, we will outline the step-by-step process for performing tracheostomy suctioning, including preparing the sterile field, donning personal protective equipment (PPE), lubricating and connecting...

01:28Tracheostomy: Procedure and Tubes
5.1K
A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that creates an artificial opening into the trachea, typically at the second or third cartilaginous ring level. This opening allows the insertion of a tracheostomy tube, which can replace an endotracheal tube, provide mechanical ventilation, bypass an upper airway obstruction, or remove accumulated tracheobronchial secretions.
Tracheostomy tubes can be made of semiflexible plastic (polyurethane or silicone), rigid plastic, or metal, and they come in...

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...
