Endoscopic Septoplasty with Limited Two-line Resection: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Septal Deviation
Published on: June 20, 2018
[Application of continuous sutures for nasal septum after septoplasty]
Objective:
To investigate the efficacy and safety of nasal septal suture in septoplasty.
Method:
Sixty patients who had undergone septoplasty were allocated into two groups: packing group and suturing group. Post-operative signs and symptoms (visual analogue scale) were compared between the two groups.
Result:
The patients of packing group experienced significantly more postoperative pain, epiphora, tinnitus, ear fullness, sleep disturbance and nasal congestion(P<0. 05). No statistically significant difference between two groups in hemorrhage (P>0. 05).
Conclusion:
Nasal septum continuous suture is a feasible method to replace nasal packing after septoplasty.
