Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the causes of persistent nasal obstruction of patients after septoplasty.
Materials And Methods:
After exclusion of allergic rhinitis, non-allergic rhinitis and nasal polyposis, this study included 90 patients with nasal breathing problem who underwent septoplasty at least 4 months ago. After taking full history and completing otorhinological and endoscopic examination, all patients graded their extent of obstruction using the Nasal Obstruction Symptoms Evaluation scale.
Results:
Our results showed only 45% of patients' persist septal deviation; besides other obstructive pathologies, 55% were detected after detailed otolaryngologic evaluation.
Conclusion:
Therefore, septal surgeons need to observe all obstructive causes of the nose carefully before planning the procedure.
