Abstract
A frequent surgical technique used to enhance airway function is septoplasty, which corrects a deviated nasal septum. There are advancements in surgical methods that might affect patient satisfaction and results. Over a 12-month follow-up period, this study intends to assess the efficacy of various surgical advancements in septoplasty as well as their influence in patient satisfaction and health outcomes. 85 people obtaining septoplasty participated in a cross-sectional study. Information about pre-existing symptoms, demographics, intraoperative measurements, and postoperative outcomes, such as pain, complications, quality of life, which was measured through the SF-36 questionnaire, along with patient satisfaction levels, were gathered. The study showed notable improvements in overall quality of life (mean SF-36 score of 80.5) and nasal blockage (82%). After surgery, the majority of patients (65%) expressed great levels of satisfaction. According to logistic regression, comorbidities. Improved satisfaction and outcomes for patients are the result of surgical advancements in septoplasty. In order to improve the treatment of patients, this study emphasizes the significance of personalized methods for surgical interventions and points to the necessity of continuous surgical technique improvement.
