1The First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Fuzhou, China; Binhai Campus of The First Affiliated Hospital, Fujian Medical University, National Regional Medical Center, Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Fuzhou, China.
Objectives:
To introduce our method managing nasal septal spurs during endoscopic septoplasty.
Methods:
We conducted a prospective study of cases treated with endoscopic septoplasty between March 2022 and June 2023. We innovated a surgical method to reduce the local mucosal tension at the spur by cutting the spur above and below the bony connection, and reducing the chance of mucosal tear and loss during dissection. The authors performed these cases at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, where 40 surgeries were performed with regular postoperative follow-ups for 6-12 months.
Results:
All patients' clinical symptoms improved significantly after surgery. After 2-4 weeks of follow-up, the mucosa could recover to the preoperative state on both sides of the nasal septum.
Conclusion:
This surgical method is suitable for most patients with nasal septal deviation, especially those with a spur, which can effectively reduce the chance of nasal septal mucosa tear and accelerate postoperative recovery.
Level Of Evidence:
