Most studies show that objective measures to quantify and determine surgical success in the treatment of External nasal deformity with /without nasal obstruction do not correlate with subjective improvement as reported by patients. Aim: To evaluate the subjective& objective improvement in patients undergoing septorhinoplasty or rhinoplasty Materials and Methods: It is a prospective study in which we evaluate 100 patients who had to undergone septorhinoplasty /rhinoplasty; various angles of nose & face were evaluated both preoperatively & postoperatively. In cases selected for Septorhinoplasty, the patients answered a questionnaire preoperatively and 2 months after surgery with questions about the main symptoms of nasal obstruction (nasal obstruction, coryza, pruritus, sneezing, facial pain, snoring, sleep disorders, daytime drowsiness), and a score of each. The intensity of symptoms was scored from 1 to 4, as follows: 1-absence of symptoms; 2-mild symptoms; 3-moderate symptoms; 4-severe symptoms. Results: An improvement of all symptoms was observed after surgery, where there was nasal obstruction associated with external nasal deformity i.e; NOSE (Nasal obstructive symptom evaluation were 45.0±10.2 (preoperatively) &10. 0±4.23 (post-operatively) with p-value < 0.005 whereas NASE (Nasal appearance surgical evaluation) were 41.8±11.25 (pre-operatively) &7. 8±5.29 (postoperatively) with p-value < 0.005 Conclusions: The external nasal appearance as well as symptoms of nasal obstruction (in c/o =septorhinoplasty) improved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
