This study aims to report the demography, clinical presentation, influence of agger nasi opening, uncinectomy and septoplasty, the use of silicone stent tubes, complications and success of endoscopic and external dacryocystorhinostomy over a period of 11 years. Retrospective review of clinical records, from January 2012 to December 2022, at a tertiary center in Portugal. A total of 249 procedures, 6 external and 243 endoscopic, were performed, including 39 revision cases...

The primary function of nasal packs is to modulate the bleeding, prevent adhesions and obstruction, with least discomfort to the subjects without risking secondary infection. However, both packing and removal of the pack is an unpleasant experience, with the latter being extremely painful. Therefore the need of the hour is a dressing which prioritizes subject comfort without compromising other desired nasal pack properties. Twenty subjects were enrolled in this interventional, open label study. The subjects had 10 hospital visits, starting from baseline (Visit 1) to postoperative day 28 (Visit 10), at regular intervals...

INTRODUCTION: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition, is defined as one of pseudo-obsessive disorders; a class of obsessive-compulsive disorders. Whereas BDD has been weakly investigated among the Middle east population and there are little data about the prevalence of BDD in Iran especially in the northern part, in this study we tend to investigate the prevalence rate of BDD and its relationship with demographic factors and post-operative satisfaction in a sample of candidates for cosmetic and non-cosmetic surgery in Rasht...

Septoplasty and turbinectomy are among the most common interventions in the field of rhinology. Their constantly debated success rates and the lack of quantitative flow data of the entire nasal airway for planning the surgery necessitate methodological improvement. Thus, physics-based surgery planning is highly desirable. In this work, a novel and accurate method is developed to enhance surgery planning by physical aspects of respiration, i.e., to plan anti-obstructive surgery, for the first time a reinforcement learning algorithm is combined with large-scale computational fluid dynamics simulations...

A rat biological model of septoplasty was used to study the effect of surgery on passive avoidance conditioning (PAC). Septoplasty was shown to increase anxiety and to reduce exploratory activity in rodents during PAC. A neurochemical analysis of the hypothalamus was carried out immediately after the end of the experiment and showed an increase in norepinephrine (NE) metabolism after septoplasty. The finding was tentatively associated with activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.

Introduction Septoplasty is a commonly performed surgery by otolaryngologists. This study examines the routine use of non-absorbable nasal packs in the postoperative period in Kuwait. Our aim is to assess the views of otolaryngologists in Kuwait regarding the routine use of non-absorbable nasal packing after septoplasty with or without turbinoplasty. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study, an anonymous survey, consisting of 10 questions, using Google Forms was conducted. It was distributed via WhatsApp and in person hard copies to otolaryngologists - head and neck surgeons in Kuwait...

OBJECTIVE(S): Our aim is to investigate the effects of the submucoperichondrial application of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) on nasal mucosal healing after septoplasty surgery. METHOD(S): This prospective randomized observational study was conducted between July 2019 and February 2021, with 40 patients aged 18-60 years who underwent closed the only septoplasty operation for similar septal deviations. Patient divided into two group; 21 patients were placed in PRP group to which PRP was applied on all mucosal surface and submucoperichondrial area of septum and 19 patients were placed in control group to which saline solution was applied on same regions...

INTRODUCTION: Percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) is traditionally performed under general anesthesia with trans-esophageal echocardiography guidance. Intracardiac echo (ICE)-guided LAAO closure is increasing in clinical use. The ICE catheter is crossed into LA via interatrial septum (IAS) after the septum is dilated with LAAO delivery sheath. This step can be time-consuming and requires significant ICE catheter manipulation, which increases the risk of cardiac perforation...

While adenotonsillectomy is the primary treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), persistent OSA after surgery is common and may be due to residual obstruction at the nose, nasopharynx, and/or palate. Comprehensive evaluation for persistent pediatric OSA ideally includes clinical examination (with or without awake nasal endosocpy) as well as drug-induced sleep endoscopy in order to accurately identify sources of residual obstruction. Depending on the site of obstruction, some of the surgical management options include submucous inferior turbinate resection, septoplasty, adenoidectomy, and expansion sphincter pharyngoplasty...

BACKGROUND: Epistaxis, commonly known as nose bleeding, is a prevalent condition in pediatric patients, often managed either at home or in clinical settings. This study aimed to explore the differences in the management of pediatric epistaxis between home and clinical settings, focusing on gender distribution, clinical presentations, and treatment methods. METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted, analyzing pediatric epistaxis cases managed both at home and in clinical settings...

Rhinoplasty, a common surgical procedure for nose reshaping, demands meticulous preoperative evaluation and precise execution. When coupled with septoplasty to address medical issues stemming from a deviated nasal septum, these procedures can lead to noteworthy postoperative complications. These encompass early issues like epistaxis and hematoma, as well as long-term challenges such as scarring and aesthetic deformities. Strategies like steroids and tranexamic acid are employed to prevent and manage these complications...

BACKGROUND: The indications for septoplasty are practice-based, rather than evidence-based. In addition, internationally accepted guidelines for the management of nasal obstruction associated with nasal septal deviation are lacking. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to determine the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of septoplasty, with or without turbinate reduction, compared with medical management, in the management of nasal obstruction associated with a deviated nasal septum...

OBJECTIVE: To estimate and adjust for rater effects in operating room surgical skills assessment performed using a structured rating scale for nasal septoplasty. METHODS: We analyzed survey responses from attending surgeons (raters) who supervised residents and fellows (trainees) performing nasal septoplasty in a prospective cohort study. We fit a structural equation model with the rubric item scores regressed on a latent component of skill and then fit a second model including the rating surgeon as a random effect to model a rater-effects-adjusted latent surgical skill...

CONTEXT: The prognosis of combined septoplasty and endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR) for moderate nasal septum deviation (NSD) has not yet been fully investigated. PURPOSE: To evaluate whether septoplasty improves the prognosis of En-DCR for moderate NSD. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study in a real-world clinical setting. METHODS: The postoperative FICI DCR ostium grading scores and functional and anatomical information at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months were determined for consecutive patients with chronic dacryocystitis (CD) and moderate NSD who underwent En-DCR...

PURPOSE: To systematically reviews the safety and effectiveness of alloplastic implants (AI) in septoplasty. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search in Medline, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases to identify articles on septoplasty using AI. We also manually searched reference lists of included articles. Inclusion criteria involved prospective or retrospective case-series studies of adults with deviated nasal septum (DNS) who underwent septoplasty with AI, with sufficient follow-up data...

UNLABELLED: The relationship between nasal obstruction and obstructive sleep apnea has raised interest among otolaryngologists since years. There are studies that suggest that surgical correction of nasal obstruction improves sleep quality and reduces symptoms of sleep apnea. This lead to our study to understand the effect of nasal surgery on obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). AIM: To assess the effect of nasal surgery in improvement in Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Hypopnoea Syndrome in patients with nasal obstruction by Polysomnography (PSG)...

Objective: To investigate the changes of nasal ventilation before and after septoplasty by using NOSE scoring scale and nasal function examination, and to explore the correlation between subjective nasal obstruction and nasal function examination and its clinical application value. Methods: A total of 129 cases of nasal septum deviation from December 2021 to April 2023 in our hospital were selected for study. All patients underwent septoplasty. Nasal obstruction symptom evaluation（NOSE） was performed in all patients before surgery and 3 months after surgery...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate quality-of-life and satisfaction outcomes in patients undergoing the MES using the Portuguese version of the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE-p) and Rhinoplasty Outcome Evaluation (ROE), and also to evaluate the frequency of possible complications of this technique. METHODS: We conducted a single-center prospective study with patients who had the indication for MES, from May 2016 to September 2020 at the Facial Plastic Surgery Clinic of Otolaryngology Department of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre...

In 2019 and 2023, two randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of septoplasty were published (1,2). Part of the rationale for both studies was that the value of septoplasty had been questioned by policymakers, health insurance carriers and health care providers. The results of both studies showed that patients undergoing septoplasty had a better outcome than patients in the control group. Without questioning these results or the general perception in the rhinology community that septoplasty is of great value to the right patient, we still see the need for caution when interpreting the outcome of the RCTs and when rhinologists try to transfer the results to routine clinical practice...
