Özet:

 

Objective: Aim of the study is to evaluate the subjective outcomes and objective outcomes postoperatively and investigate correlations between these measurements.
Material and Methods: This prospective before and after surgical study was conducted with patients admitted with symptomatic nasal septum deviation  (NSD)  and  who  underwent  Cottle’s  septoplasty.  Morphometric  diameters  of  the  nasal  cavity  were  measured  using  a  multi-detector  computed  tomography.  Preoperative  and  postoperative  one-month  Nasal  Obstruction  Symptom  Evaluation  Scale  (NOSE)  score,  acoustic  rhinometry  (AR),  and  anterior  active  rhinomanometry  (AAR)  measurements  were  used  to  evaluate  the  success  of  surgery.  The  correlations  between these measurements were also evaluated. 
Results:  The  study  population  consisted  of  30  patients,  including  19  males  and  11  females,  with  a  median  age  of  27.5  years.  There  was  a  statistically  significant  difference  between  pre  and  postoperative  NOSE  scores,  with  a  mean  difference  of  53.17  points  (p<0.001).  There  were  statistically significant differences between pre and postoperative AR parameters of both the deviated side (DS) and non-deviated side (NDS) of the nose both before and after decongestion. There were statistically significant improvements in all postoperative airflow and airway resistance parameters of the DS of the nose before decongestion when compared to preoperative measurements. There were moderate to large positive correlations  between  morphometric  diameters  and  differences  in  NOSE  score.  Further,  there  were  several  statistically  significant  correlations  between differences in AR and AAR measurements and differences in NOSE score.
Conclusion: Our findings showed that the objective measurements are strongly correlated with the NOSE score.
