ABSTRACT
Abstract Introduction: Nasal septum deviation is the leading cause of upper airway obstruction. Chronic upper airway obstruction may cause myocardial injury due to chronic hypoxia. Effects of septoplasty on left venticular diastolic and sistolic functions are not well known. The myocardial performance index is an easy-to-apply and reliable parameter that reflects systolic and diastolic cardiac functions. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of nasal septoplasty on the myocardial performance index in patients with nasal septal deviation. Methods: This prospective study consisted of 50 consecutive patients who underwent septoplasty due to symptomatic prominent C- or S-shaped nasal septal deviation. Transthoracic echocardiogarphy was performed in all patients before and 3 months after septoplasty. Calculated myocardial performance indices were compared. Results: Significantly higher left ventricular myocardial performance index (0.52 ± 0.06 vs. 0.41 ± 0.04, p < 0.001), longer isovolumic relaxation time (95.0 ± 12.5 vs. 78.0 ± 8.6 ms, p < 0.001), longer isovolumic contraction time (45.5 ± 7.8 vs. 39.5 ± 8.6 ms, p < 0.001), longer deceleration time (184.3 ± 32.5 vs. 163.6 ± 45.4 ms, p = 0.004), higher ratio of transmitral early to late peak velocities (E/A) (1.42 ± 0.4 vs. 1.16 ± 0.2, p = 0.006) and shorter ejection time (270.1 ± 18.3 vs. 286.5 ± 25.8 ms, p < 0.001) were observed before septoplasty when compared to values obtained 3 months after septoplasty. Left ventricular systolic ejection fraction was similar before and after septoplasty (63.8±2.8% vs. 64.6±3.2%, p =0.224). Conclusion: Septoplasty surgery not only reduces nasal blockage symptoms in nasal septal deviation patients but also may improve left ventricular performance. Thus, treatment of nasal septal deviation without delay is suggested to prevent possible future cardiovascular events.
Resumo Introdução: O desvio do septo nasal é a principal causa de obstrução das vias aéreas superiores. A obstrução crônica das vias aéreas superiores pode causar lesão miocárdica devido à hipóxia crônica. Os efeitos da septoplastia nas funções diastólica e sistólica do ventrículo esquerdo não são bem conhecidos. O índice de desempenho miocárdico é um parâmetro confiável e fácil de aplicar que reflete as funções cardíacas sistólica e diastólica. Objetivo: Investigar o efeito da septoplastia nasal no índice de desempenho miocárdico em pacientes com desvio de septo nasal. Método: Este estudo prospectivo consistiu em 50 pacientes consecutivos submetidos a septoplastia devido a desvio de septo nasal significativo sintomático em S ou C. A ecocardiogarfia transtorácica foi feita em todos os pacientes antes e 3 meses após a septoplastia. Os índices de desempenho miocárdico calculados foram comparados. Resultados: Um valor de indice de desempenho miocárdico ventricular esquerdo significantemente maior (0,52 ± 0,06 vs. 0,41 ± 0,04, p < 0,001), tempo mais longo de relaxamento isovolumétrico (95,0 ± 12,5 vs. 78,0 ± 8,6 ms, p < 0,001), tempo mais longo de contração isovolumétrica (45,5 ± 7,8 vs. 39,5 ± 8,6 ms, p < 0,001), tempo de desaceleração mais longo (184,3 ± 32,5 vs. 163,6 ± 45,4 ms, p = 0,004), maior razão de pico de velocidade transmitral precoce e tardia (E / A) (1,42 ± 0,4 vs. 1,16 ± 0,2, p = 0,006) e menor tempo de ejeção (270,1 ± 18,3 vs. 286,5 ± 25,8 ms, p < 0,001) foram observados antes da septoplastia quando comparados aos valores obtidos 3 meses após a septoplastia. A fração de ejeção sistólica do ventrículo esquerdo foi semelhante antes e após a septoplastia (63,8 ± 2,8% vs. 64,6 ± 3,2%, p = 0,224). Conclusão: A cirurgia de septoplastia não apenas reduz os sintomas em pacientes com desvio de septo nasal, mas também pode melhorar o desempenho ventricular esquerdo. Assim, o tratamento precoce do desvio de septo nasal é sugerido para prevenir possíveis eventos cardiovasculares futuros.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To explore the effect of nasal septum deviation(NSD)on the curative effect of endonasal endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy(EES-DCR).<p>METHODS: Totally 84 patients(84 eyes)who have been diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis in our hospital from June 2017 to May 2019 were collected and then the patients were divided them into two groups according to whether NSD existed through the preoperative nasal endoscopy. Group A included 42 patients(42 eyes)who had no NSD while Group B included 42 patients(42 eyes)who had NSD(mild or moderate). The EES-DCR was performed under general anesthesia in both groups. The preoperative treatment indexes, evaluative efficacy after 6mo follow up and nasal adhesion were compared between the two groups after operation.<p>RESULTS: The operation time and intraoperative blood loss of group B(69.9±13.1min, 51.8±16.4mL)exceeded group A(53.4±11.7min, 24.9±12.0mL)respectively(<i>P</i><0.05), while the hospitalization time between two groups showed no difference(<i>P</i>>0.05). Follow up for 6mo: the effective rate of group A was 86% while group B was 71%(<i>P</i>>0.05); No nasal adhesion was found in group A while 12% incidence existed in group B, with no difference between the two groups(<i>P</i>>0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: Patients who have chronic dacryocystitis combined with mild or moderate NSD do not need to perform a septoplasty simultaneously if the symptom does not accompany by nasal dysfunction. Only by performing the EES-DCR can achieve a quite good result.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the clinical effect of digital endoscopic-assisted one-stage rhinoplasty and septoplasty by using subjective and objective methods.Methods:Thirty-two patients with skeletal crooked nose and nasal septum deviated who underwent endoscopic-assisted rhinoplasty and septoplasty were included in this study from January 2015 to January 2020. This study used objective measurements such as 3D digital imaging technology and CT scans, as well as subjective measurements such as Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Rhinoplasty Outcomes Evaluation (ROE) scale, Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Functional Rhinoplasty Outcome Inventory (FROI-17) to evaluate the crooked nose morphology and nasal respiratory function before and after surgery.Results:Compared with preoperatively, postoperative 3D facial imaging results showed that the deviation distance and deviation angle of the crooked nose were significantly improved (both P<0.05), and the long-term effect of the operation was stable. Subjectively, the patient＇s appearance VAS score and ROE score were significantly higher than those before surgery, while the NOSE score and FROI-17 score of nasal congestion symptoms were lower than those before surgery. Conclusions:Endoscope-assisted one-stage rhinoplasty and septoplasty can achieve the purpose of repairing the nose appearance and improving the nasal respiratory function at the same time. Through a combination of subjective and objective evaluations, our study found that this procedure had the advantages of minimally invasive, stable effect and shorter recover time; meanwhile, this procedure has high patients＇ satisfaction and is worthy of clinical promotion.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY: The aim of this research was to analyze the morphology of the nasal septum and inferior nasal concha bone in class III facial deformities prior to orthodontic treatment in orthognathic surgery candidates. 40 subjects were included in this research. The inclusion criteria were an Angle class III, negative overjet and SNA angle less than 80º. Patients with facial asymmetry, facial trauma or who had undergone maxillofacial or ENT procedures were excluded. CBCT images were obtained for all the patients and the nasal septum deviation, morphology of inferior nasal concha bone and ostium of the maxillary sinus were analyzed and related to the complexity of the facial deformity expressed by the ANB angle and dental relations. The measurement was standardized by ICC and the data was analyzed using a chi square test and Spearman's coefficient with a p value < 0.005 for statistical significance. Nasal septal deviation was observed in 77.5 %. The deviation angle was 13.28º (±4.68º) and the distance from the midline to the most deviated septum was 5.56 mm (±1.8 mm) with no statistical relation to the complexity of the facial deformity. The deviated nasal septum showed inferior nasal concha bone hypertrophy on the concave side of the nasal septum deviation (p=0.049). The open or closed condition of the maxillary sinus ostium was not related to any conditions in the septum or complexity of the facial deformity. Inferior nasal concha bone hypertrophy could be related to nasal septal deviation. The nasal condition in a class III facial deformity could not differ from the general population; careful in orthognathic surgery as to be assume in the Le Fort I Osteotomy and nasal approach related to nasal septum deviation and inferior nasal concha bone.
RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar la morfología del septum y la concha nasal inferior en sujetos con deformidad facial clase III previo al tratamiento de ortodoncia preparatorio para cirugía ortognática. Fueron incluidos 40 sujetos en esta investigación. Los criterios de inclusión fueron la de presentar una clase III de Angle, overjet negativo y ángulo SNA menor que 80º. Sujetos con asimetría facial, trauma facial o quienes presentaron algún tipo de procedimiento maxilofacial o de otorrinolaringología fueron excluidos. Tomografía computadorizada cone beam (CBCT) fueron obtenidas para todos los sujetos donde le morfología del septum nasal, morfología de la concha nasal inferior y el ostium del seno maxilar fueron analizados y relacionados con la complejidad de la deformidad facial expresada como ángulo ANB y relaciones dentales. Las medidas fueron estandarizadas por el ICC y los datos fueron analizados utilizando la prueba chi cuadrado y coeficiente de Spearman con un valor de p<0,05 para obtener relaciones significativas. La desviación del septum nasal se observó en el 77,5 %; el ángulo de desvío fue de 13,28º (±4,68º) y la distancia de desvío del septum desde la línea media fue de 5,56 mm (±1,8 mm) sin diferencias estadísticas en relación a la complejidad de la deformidad. El desvío de septum nasal demostró hipertrofia de la concha nsal inferior en el lado cóncavo del septum desviado (p=0,049). La condición de ostium abierto o cerrado no fue relacionado con ninguna condición del septum nasal o complejidad de la deformidad facial. La hipertrofia de la concha nasal inferior se relacionó con el desvío de septum nasal. La condición nasal en deformidad facial de clase III no es diferente de la observada en la población general; cuidados deben ser realizados en cirugía ortognática para el desarrollo de la osteotomía de Le Fort I y aproximación nasal en relación al desvío de septum y probable alteración de la concha nasal inferior.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Nasal septum deviation (NSD) is the most common structural cause of nasal obstruction, affecting around 65-80% of the adult population. Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is currently used for treatment of maxillary transverse deficiency, but can also influence nasal cavity geometry. Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the changes in NSD by using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans in pre-pubertal patients treated with RME. Methods: This retrospective exploratory study evaluated 20 pre-pubertal patients (mean age 10 ± 2 years) who were treated for transverse maxillary constriction with RME and presented mild/moderate NSD as an incidental finding. The outcome measures were NSD tortuosity and area. These measures were obtained from transverse and coronal views of records taken before and after RME treatment. Intra-rater reliability was also assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient. Results: NSD was mild in thirteen patients (65%) and moderate in seven (35%). NSD tortuosity index did not significantly change over time (mean difference 0.002 mm/year, 95% CI; p = 0.58). NSD area did not significantly change over time (mean difference 2.103 mm2/year, 95% CI; p = 0.38). Intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.73 (95% CI) for NSD tortuosity and 0.84 (95% CI) for NSD area. Conclusions: NSD tortuosity and area suggested potential changes in NSD with small clinical relevance in pre-pubertal patients who were treated with RME. Additional studies using CBCT scans in larger samples are required to clarify the role of RME in NSD treatment.
RESUMO Introdução: O desvio de septo nasal (DSN) é a causa estrutural mais frequente de obstrução nasal, afetando de 65% a 80% da população adulta. A expansão rápida da maxila (ERM), atualmente utilizada para o tratamento da deficiência transversa da maxila, também pode influenciar na geometria da cavidade nasal. Objetivos: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, usando tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), as mudanças no DSN após o tratamento com ERM em pacientes pré-púberes. Métodos: Esse estudo exploratório retrospectivo avaliou 20 pacientes pré-púberes (idade média de 10 ± 2 anos) com deficiência transversa da maxila tratados com ERM, e que apresentavam DSN de leve a moderado, como um achado incidental. Foram realizadas medições da tortuosidade e área do DSN. Essas medições foram feitas em cortes transversais e coronais das TCFCs pré- e pós-tratamento com ERM. A confiabilidade intraexaminador também foi aferida por meio do coeficiente de correlação intraclasse. Resultados: O DSN era leve em 13 pacientes (65%) e moderado em 7 (35%). O índice de tortuosidade do DSN não mudou significativamente ao longo do tempo (diferença média = 0,002 mm/ano, IC 95%; p= 0,58). A área do DSN não mudou significativamente ao longo do tempo (diferença média = 2,103 mm2/ano, IC 95%; p= 0,38). O coeficiente de correlação intraclasse foi igual a 0,73 (IC 95%) para a tortuosidade do DSN e 0,84 (IC 95%) para a área do DSN. Conclusões: Os valores de tortuosidade e da área do DSN sugeriram potenciais mudanças no DSN, mas com pequena relevância clínica, nos pacientes pré-púberes tratados com ERM. Estudos adicionais utilizando TCFC em amostras maiores são necessários para esclarecer o papel da ERM no tratamento do DSN.

Objective To investigate the influence of nasal packing and modified suture after operation on symptom scores and complications of patients undergoing nasal septum deviation correction. Methods One hundred and forty patients who had underwent nasal septum deviation correction were chosen in the period from January 2016 to August 2018 in People′s Hospital of Lishui City and randomly divided into two groups including control group (70 patients) with nasal packing after operation and experiment group (70 patients) with nasal modified suture after operation. The bleeding loss volume, subjective symptoms visual analogue scale(VAS) score, Lund-Kennedy score and complication incidence after operation of both groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in the bleeding loss volume between two groups (P>0.05). The VAS score of nasal pain, head pain, dizziness, tears, nasal itching, nasal congestion and dyskoimesis after operation of experiment group were significantly lower than those of control group: (2.29 ± 0.65) scores vs. (5.42 ± 1.19) scores, (2.72 ± 0.67) scores vs. (5.60 ± 0.85) scores, (3.03 ± 0.46) scores vs. (5.25 ± 0.73) scores, (1.54 ± 0.40) scores vs. (2.70 ± 0.64) scores, (2.64 ± 0.56) scores vs. (5.68 ± 0.83) scores,(1.72 ± 0.57) scores vs. (2.10 ± 0.71) scores, (2.80 ± 0.63) scores vs. (4.96 ± 0.91) scores, P<0.05. There was no significant difference in the complication incidence after operation between two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions Compared with nasal packing after operation, modified suture after operation in the treatment of patients undergoing nasal septum deviation correction can efficiently relieve subjective symptoms and decrease postoperative pain degree; but nasal packing and modified suture after operation possess the same clinical effects on controlling bleeding volume and promoting nasal mucosa repair and safety.
ABSTRACT
O desvio de septo nasal, concha bolhosa e a obstrução do óstio são alterações do complexo osteomeatal, que podem interferir no volume dos seios maxilares, em sua oxigenação, drenagem adequada de fluidos e nos resultados de cirurgias nessa região. A adoção de um protocolo de avaliação do complexo osteomeatal envolvendo uma equipe multidisciplinar no planejamento de cirurgias de levantamento de seio maxilar pode proporcionar a diminuição do surgimento de complicações pós-operatórias relacionadas à drenagem e ventilação, prejudicadas pelo desvio de septo nasal, concha bolhosa e obstrução do óstio.
Nasal septum deviation, concha bullosa and ostium obstruction are alterations of the osteomeatal complex that may interfere with the volume of the maxillary sinuses, their oxygenation, adequate drainage of fluids and the results of surgeries in this region. The adoption of a protocol for evaluation of the osteomeatal complex involving a multidisciplinary team in the planning of surgeries of maxillary sinus can provide a reduction in the appearance of postoperative complications related to drainage and ventilation impaired by nasal septum deviation, concha bullosa and obstruction of the ostium.

Objective To explore the correlation between ostiomeatal complex(OMC)variation, nasal septum deviation and nasosinusitis with CT imaging.Methods The clinical and imaging data of 256 patients undergoing nasal and paranasal CT examination from June 1, 2015 to May 30, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with paranasal sinus fractures, tumors and artifacts were not included in this study.Taking the image of standard coronal MPR built with thin axial sections at the level of middle of semilunar fissure as observing image,and the direction,location and extent of OMC variations were observed and recorded. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of nasal septum deviation.OMC mutation,the incidence of unilateral mutation,incidence of paranasal sinusitis and the incidence of unilateral bilateral nasal sinusitis between the two groups was analyzed by χ2test with two independent samples. Then according to the presence or absence of OMC mutation, the patients were divided into two groups.The incidence of paranasal sinusitis and bilateral paranasal sinusitis were compared between the two groups. Results Two hundred and fifty six cases of CT imging of parannasal sinus were included in the study,96 cases were with nasal septum deviation, 160 were with non-deviation of nasal septum. The incidence rate of OMC variation between the two groups showed significant difference(χ2=38.40,P<0.05).The incidence rate of unilateral and bilateral OMC variation showed significant difference(χ2=13.70,P<0.05),among which 54 were unilateral variations,50(92.6%)variations were located at the same side of nasal deviation(side of the nasal cavity widened).The incidence rate of sinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.50,P>0.05).The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=2.25,P>0.05).Of the 256 cases,128 were with OMC variations,and 128 were with non-OMC variation.The incidence rate of nasosinusitis between the two groups showed non-significant difference(χ2=0.56,P>0.05). The incidence rate between unilateral and bilateral nasosinusitis showed non-significant difference(χ2=3.57,P>0.05). Conclusion Ipsilateral OMC variation occurred in nasal septum deviation might be a compensation to nasal cavity widening while not a obstructive factor in causing nasosinusitis.

ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the airflow characteristics and investigate the relationship of the structure and the function of nasal cavity by the three?dimensional reconstruction of nasal airway of patients with structural abnormalities(nasal septum deviation)and healthy people and the estab?lishment of finite element model by computer. Methods On the basis of CT imaging of the nasal cavity in patients with structural abnormalities(na?sal septum deviation,n=20)and healthy people(n=20),three?dimensional reconstruction of nasal airway was conducted by resurfacing finite ele?ment subdivision to simulate the characteristics of airflow in nasal cavity. Results The airflow mainly went through the commodious side of the nose in patients with nasal septum deviation and the maximum fluence appeared in the middle part of meatus nasi communis. The airway pressure de?creased most significantly in the most flank?curvature part of nasal septum deviation,accounting approximately 79.65%of the total pressure. In healthy people,the bilateral airflow was affected by nasal cycle and was mainly characterized by one nasal cavity,and the maximum fluence was ob?served in the middle and the inferior part of meatus nasi communis. The airway pressure decreased most significantly in limen nasi,accounting ap?proximately 58.78%of the total pressure. Conclusion Numerical modeling of nasal cavity can be used to analyze the relationship between the nasal structural abnormalities and the airflow characteristics,which is a scientific method to analyze the association of nasal structure and function with dis?ease and can be used for pre?and post?operative individual evaluation of operative therapeutic regimen targeting at optimizing airway and altering air?flow distribution.

ABSTRACT
La rinitis atrófica es una enfermedad crónica y progresiva de etiología desconocida. Se caracteriza por atrofia de la mucosa nasal y hueso subyacente, dilatación anormal de las cavidades nasales, obstrucción nasal paradójica, y formación de secreciones viscosas y costras secas; produciendo fetidez. Sus manifestaciones clínicas más frecuentes son obstrucción nasal, secreción purulenta, costras nasales y mal olor nasal. Se ha separado en dos entidades: primaria y secundaria. El tratamiento es principalmente conservador, y se han propuesto diversas terapias farmacológicas y quirúrgicas. La rinitis atrófica unilateral es una condición infrecuente, con escasos reportes en la literatura científica. Se puede asociar a la desviación septal, por lo que su corrección quirúrgica es una alternativa terapéutica disponible.
Atrophic rhinitis is a chronic disease of unknown etiology. This condition is characterized by progressive nasal mucosal and underlyng bone atrophy, abnormal widening of the nasal cavities, paradoxical nasal congestion and formation of viscid secretions and dried crusts, leading to a characteristic fetor (ozaena). The main clinical manifestations include nasal obstruction, purulent discharge, daily nasal crusting, nasal dryness and foul smell. It has been divided into two separate entities; primary and secondary. Treatment is mostly conservative, although pharmacological and surgical therapies have been proposed. Unilateral atrophic rhinitis is an uncommon condition, with few reports in the scientific literature. It is associated with septum deviation, so surgical correction is one of the therapeutic options available.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate advantages of sep to plasty under nasal endoscope. Methods Septoplasty was carried out under nasal endoscope in 50 cases, including 6 cases of upper or posterior n asal septum deviation. Results The operation was completed on one session in all the 50 cases, with the deviated nasal septum being entirely c orrected. The operation time was 30~72 min (mean, 48 min). Follow-up surveys for 6~9 months (mean, 7.1 months) indicated a complete cure in 45 cases (90%) and a n improvement in 5 cases (10%). No septal hematoma, abscess, perforation, nasal cavity adhesion, or bridge collapse were encountered. Conclusions Nasal endoscopic septoplasty has advantages of short operation time, few bl ood loss, mild pain, little complications, and the possibility of nasal sinus co -operation. This technique may fully replace the traditional submucous resection .
ABSTRACT
Nasal septum deviation is one of the most common anatomic variants in nasal region. The deviated septum causes nasal dysfunction or affects cosmetic appearance call for septoplasty surgery. Thanks for its ability in approaching and managing the affected nasal tissues. The endoscopes technique has effectively applicated on septoplasty. Since 1999, Gia Dinh – Nhan dan Hospital HCM city have carried out the technique for 86 consecutive surgical patients. The results show the efficacy of this technique in managing little spurs or ridges on nasal septum. In managing more complicated or post traumatic nasal septum deviation, the Killian technique would be much more appropriate
