Techniques in Septoplasty
Abstract
This article provides a review of modern techniques in the surgical management of the deviated septum with emphasis on the comparison of traditional versus endoscopic septoplasty approaches. Relevant anatomy and physiology of the nasal septum are discussed. A brief history of the evolution of the surgical approaches for the correction of a deviated septum is provided. Traditional and endoscopic septoplasty techniques are reviewed; the indications, advantages, and limitations of each approach are highlighted. Potential complications of septoplasty, with a focus on prevention and management, are also discussed.

Septoplasty is a common surgical procedure to address structural abnormalities of the nasal septum.
“To address structural abnormalities, septoplasty is a common surgical procedure [19].”

The endoscopic approach offers enhanced visualization of tissue planes, along with improved illumination and magnification, enabling the surgeon to assess nasal anatomy with greater precision and selectively remove segments of the deviated septum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
