Nasal Septoplasty

Nasal septoplasty is often required to correct a cosmetic deformity, which is a common reason for patients to present to a plastic surgeon. If nasal septoplasty is insufficient, a residual deformity or nasal obstruction may remain after surgery. Even if the nasal septum is corrected to an appropriate position, nasal congestion could be exacerbated if the turbinate on the other side is not also corrected. Therefore, appropriate treatment is required based on the condition of the turbinates. Herein, we survey recent trends in treatment and review previous research papers on turbinoplasty procedures that can be performed alongside nasal septoplasty.

Nasal Inflammation

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a sinus paranasal and nasal inflammation marked with two or more symptoms, nasal congestion or nasal discharge and the other symptom like facial pain and reduced smell may present. This symptom occur >12 weeks. One of the parameter for symptom’s severity assessmentis using Visual Analog Scale (VAS) that can be classified as mild (0-3), moderate (4-7), dan severe (8-10). This study was a observational study by assessing patient’s medical record at SMF THT-KL RSUD Dr. Soetomo and analyzed descriptively. 43 patients were enrolled to study (28 male and 15 female), most of them were between age 36-45 years old (25,58%). Most of the patient’s symptom’s severity in general, nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, facial pain, and reduced smell were moderate (65,11%), moderate (58,13%), mild (41,86%), mild (58,13%), mild (62,79%) respectively. Most of the patients had risk factor (62,79%), and the most of the patient’s risk factor were allergy. Most of the CRS patients in this study were male, 36-45 years old, with the general symptom’s severity moderate, moderate nasal obstruction, mild nasal discharge, mild facial pain, mild reduced smell, and had allergy.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the consistency of causal statements in observational studies published in The BMJ.DesignReview of observational studies published in a general medical journal.Data sourceCohort and other longitudinal studies describing an exposure-outcome relationship published in The BMJ in 2018. We also had access to the submitted papers and reviewer reports.Main outcome measuresProportion of published research papers with ‘inconsistent’ use of causal language. Papers where language was consistently causal or non-causal were classified as ‘consistently causal’ or ‘consistently not causal’, respectively. For the ‘inconsistent’ papers, we then compared the published and submitted version.ResultsOf 151 published research papers, 60 described eligible studies. Of these 60, we classified the causal language used as ‘consistently causal’ (48%), ‘inconsistent’ (20%) and ‘consistently not causal’(32%). Eleven out of 12 (92%) of the ‘inconsistent’ papers were already inconsistent on submission. The inconsistencies found in both submitted and published versions were mainly due to mismatches between objectives and conclusions. One section might be carefully phrased in terms of association while the other presented causal language. When identifying only an association, some authors jumped to recommending acting on the findings as if motivated by the evidence presented.ConclusionFurther guidance is necessary for authors on what constitutes a causal statement and how to justify or discuss assumptions involved. Based on screening these papers, we provide a list of expressions beyond the obvious ‘cause’ word which may inspire a useful more comprehensive compendium on causal language.

Preliminary Study

AbstractThe authors have used the nasal endoscope for the precise identification of pathological abnormalities of the nasal septum in relation to the lateral nasal wall including the osteo-meatal complex and in its ultraconservative management. The aim of the study was to compare the efficacies of endoscope-aided septoplasty (EAS) over traditional septoplasty (TS) in treating the pathological septum and turbinates, performed in 30 cases each. The subjective assessment was carried out by visual analogue scores and objective assessment by nasal endoscopy. This study demonstrates the superiority and limitations of the endoscopic approach in managing a deviated nasal septum and the turbinates. The endoscope-aided technique was found to be more effective in relieving the contact areas and nasal obstruction (p = ≤0.05). The authors advocate a combined approach – an endoscopic approach for inaccessible posterior deviation and the conservative traditional technique for accessible anterior deviation of the nasal septum.

Abstract We present the case of a 45-year-old man who presented with medication-resistant chronic bilateral nasal obstruction. The patient had no known history of allergy or any other disease. Nasal septoplasty was performed to relieve his symptoms. Histologically, thick collagen bundles were seen, characteristically whorling around vessels in a fibrotic stroma. Inflammatory cells, rich in eosinophils, were scattered throughout the lesion. No granulomas, necrosis, or vessel destruction were present. A diagnosis of eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis was made. This neoplasm, which has very characteristic histologic features, is a rare entity of the sinonasal tract.

Nasal Septoplasty

 Nasal obstruction, the most common presenting symptom in nasal and sinus disease, is defined as patient discomfort manifested as a sensation of insufficient airflow through the nose. Nasal septal deviation is the most common anatomical cause of nasal obstruction. Surgical correction of a deviated septum, nasal septoplasty, is the definitive treatment for septal deviation. Many studies have discussed about outcomes of septoplasty. However, there is limited published literature on nasal septoplasty and its outcome in Nepal. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of septoplasty using Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scale, a validated outcome instrument assessing quality of life (QoL) related to nasal obstruction. A total of 52 patients aged 18 years and above, with nasal obstruction at least for 3 months, undergoing septoplasty alone were included in the study. Baseline NOSE score was calculated a week before surgery. The patients were followed up after 3 months to record postoperative NOSE score. On statistical analysis, the mean NOSE scores before and 3 months after septoplasty were 45.58±21.38 and 8.46±8.37 respectively. The mean difference was 37.11± 21.22 and p value on paired t test was less than 0.001(highly significant). The mean differences of each component of the NOSE scale questionnaire were also found to be highly significant statistically with p values less than 0.001. Gender and age did not seem to affect the outcomes. In conclusion, NOSE scale is a valid, reliable and responsive instrument that is brief and easy to complete and has potential use for outcome studies in adults with nasal obstruction. This instrument showed that septoplasty, if done in properly selected patients, results in significant improvement in nasal obstruction and disease specific quality of life with high patient satisfaction.
