Özet
Background Anatomical deformities can greatly alter nasal function, which can be largely corrected during septoplasty and septorhinoplasty operations. In this study, we aimed to objectively measure the results of septoplasty surgeries of deviated noses with radiological analysis and compare the results with clinical evaluations. Patients and Methods Forty patients who were undergoing septorhinoplasty were included in the study. Patients were evaluated with preoperative and postoperative paranasal computed tomography scan measurements and satisfaction surveys. Results Preoperative and postoperative mean ± SD septal deviation angle measurements were 11.9 ± 5.3 degrees and 6.5 ± 3.1 degrees, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ± SD septal deviation distance measurements were 7.3 ± 4 and 3 ± 1.3 mm, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ± SD oblique conchal measurement on the deviated side was 17.3 ± 3.2 and 13.4 ± 2.8, respectively. Preoperative and postoperative mean ± SD patient satisfaction survey scores were 17 ± 1.9 and 4.5 ± 1.9 points, respectively. Discussion To obtain a nose with a greatly improved functional gains, especially in heavy deviated noses, is an important goal in septorhinoplasty surgery. It is essential to apply the technique that will benefit the patient. The most important success criterion seems to be the regression of the clinical complaints of the patients, which can be proven objectively with computed tomography scan measurements.
