Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the functional and aesthetic outcomes of endonasal septoplasty (ES) and extracorporeal septal reconstruction (ESR) in anterocaudal septal deviation.
METHODS: In this study, patients (n = 46) who underwent nasal septoplasty surgery due to anterocaudal septal deviation during February 2015 to August 2017 were analyzed; 23 patients underwent ES and the others (n = 23) underwent ESR. The decision of whether to use the ES or ESR was randomized by random number table method. Nasal obstruction symptoms evaluation (NOSE) scores, total nasal resistance (TNR), aesthetic visual analog scale (VAS), nasal anatomical angles, and incidence of complications were used to assess the patients in 2 groups.
RESULTS: The NOSE scores, TNR, aesthetic VAS, tip deviation angle (TDA), nasolabial angle (NLA), nasofrontal angle (NFA) in the ESR group were significantly improved from preoperative to postoperative 1 year, whereas in the ES group, except aesthetic VAS, NLA, NFA, all other postoperative outcomes were improved from preoperative values. The objective and subjective postoperative results of ESR group were better than the ES group except TDA. The incidence of complications was not significantly different between the 2 groups.
CONCLUSION: Our study have compared the nasal functional and aesthetic outcomes of 2 septoplasty techniques in a randomized controlled trial. The ESR technique is more effective than ES technique in correcting functional and aesthetic disorders caused by anterocaudal septal deviation.
