Tóm tắt

AbstractInformation obtained from the case-records and completed questionnaires from 478 patients operated in the 5-year-period 1980 through 1984 with either septoplasty or submucous resection (SMR), has been analysed on an average 31 months after surgery. Two hundred (42 per cent) underwent SMR and 278 (58 per cent) septoplasty. Twenty per cent presented for a clinical follow-up examination. Of the 478 patients, 63 per cent were satisfied. More patients were satisfied with the functional results after septoplasty, which also resulted in fewer and smaller perforations than SMR. Septoplasty ought to replace the latter as the routine procedure. 10 per cent had troublesome crusting independent of the technique used. Change in the external shape of the nose is a minor problem for the patients, and was not regarded as an indication for re-operation. Patients with allergic rhinitis may undergo septal surgery on general lines.
