ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
It is difficult to correct anterior nasal septal deviation using classical septoplasty technique such as crosshatch incision. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of anchoring suture for the correction of anterior nasal septal deviation during septoplasty. SUBJECTS ANDMETHOD:
Retrospective review of medical records for the 126 patients who have undergone septoplasty using anchoring suture was performed. Minimal cross sectional area (MCA) and nasal volume were measured preoperatively, and repeated at eight or twelve weeks postoperatively using acoustic rhinometry. Subjective symptoms for nasal obstruction was evaluated using visual analogue scale.RESULTS:
The rate of major complication such as septal perforation was extremely rare. There was a significant improvement of MCA and nasal volume in the patients undergone anchoring suture except MCA of the concave side (p<0.05). Subjective symptoms for nasal obstruction was improved after septoplasty using anchoring suture (p<0.05).CONCLUSION:
Anchoring suture is relatively easy to perform and is an effective operative technique for the correction of anterior nasal septal deviation during septoplasty.
