Background: Deviated nose and septum is challenging, which results in functional and cosmetic problems. It blocks the nose and makes person ugly. The classical septoplasty approach becomes unsuitable for such severe deviations. Extracorporeal septoplasty is a surgical technique for correcting a severely deviated nasal septum, which also corrects the aesthetic part of the nose. The objective of this study was to describe extracorporeal septoplasty for Deviated nose and anterior septal deviation. Methods: A prospective observational outcome study was done in patients with Deviated nose and anterior septal deviation who underwent extracorporeal septorhinoplasty. Preoperative and postoperative evaluation was performed using a photographs, computerized tomography (CT) scan, and Nasal obstruction symptoms evaluation scale. Results: A total of 38 consecutive patients were enrolled, out of which majority were male (24, 63.2%) with only 14 (36.8%) female. The ratio of male female was 1.7:1. All the subjects had deviated nasal septum. Among these, nose deviation was externally noticeable in 20 (52.6%) cases, whereas in remaining cases it was inconspicuous. There were 21(55.3%) patients where Nasal Septum was deviated to the right side followed by 17(44.7%) with left side deviation. There was a significant improvement in mean nasal obstruction symptoms evaluation postoperatively (71.2 versus 22.7 with p value equal to 0.01). According to the pre and postoperative photographs 17(44.7%) patients had good improvement, nine (23.6%) showed excellent improvement and the result was fair in six (15.7%) patients. Conclusions: Extracorporeal septoplasty is effective in improving both nasal airway function and aesthetics in patients with severe Nasal Septal deviation.

Objective: The safety and efficacy of extracorporeal septoplasty (ECS) has long been debated. Our objective was to determine this technique’s functional and aesthetic outcomes and complications through a systematic review of the literature. Data Sources: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were evaluated for studies detailing functional or aesthetic outcomes of ECS. Review Methods: Bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) score. Aesthetic and functional outcomes in addition to complications were evaluated using subjective and objective measures. Meta-analyses were performed when appropriate. Results: Seventeen studies encompassing 1418 patients were included. The average MINORS score for observational studies was 9.2. Overall there was a significant improvement in subjective nasal function with a preoperative average Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) score of 75 (±16) decreasing to 19.5 (±16.5) postoperatively for a mean difference (MD) of −55 (95% confidence interval (CI): –60 to −49.5). In terms of objective nasal function, at 6 months postoperatively, there was an improvement of nasal flow measured by rhinometry ranging from 70 to 71% across studies. Anthropometric measurements were utilized for objective aesthetic outcomes. There was a significant improvement in I-shaped deviations (MD: –2.7°, 95% CI: –5.6 to −0.16) and C-shaped deviations improved by 11.9° (95% CI +2.8-+21.2). Complication rates ranged from 0 to 18%. Conclusion: ECS can achieve significant improvements in the subjective and objective function of the nose. The associated complication rate is low but variable between surgeons.
