ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of endoscopic septoplasty with traditional septoplasty in treating cases having septal deviations. The study included 60 patients complaining mainly of nasal obstruction due to significant septal deviations. They were divided into two groups Group A 30 patients who had endoscopic septoplasty performed in order to correct their deviated septum and group B 30 patients who had a traditional septoplasty performed as a method of treatment of their septal deviation. Each patient was subjected to a preoperative assessment protocol that included a thorough history taking, general and local examination, nasal endoscopic examination and active anterior rhinomanometry. Postoperatively, the patients were subjected to an assessment protocol similar to the preoperative one
