A comparative analysis between conventional septoplasty and endoscopic septoplasty at a tertiary centre

Abstract

Background: Deviated nasal septum (DNS) is a prevalent anatomical condition that can significantly impair nasal airflow, leading to chronic nasal obstruction and associated morbidities. Surgical correction remains the definitive treatment for symptomatic DNS, with conventional septoplasty being the traditional approach for many years. Endoscopic septoplasty offers improved lighting, facilitating precise identification of septal deviation during surgery. This technique also results in shorter surgical time and less postoperative problems
