Overview

NCT ID: NCT07731152
Lead Sponsor: Sohag UniversityOTHER
Official Title: Evaluation of the Outcome of Septoplasty With or Without Inferior Turbinate Reduction
Brief Summary: This prospective comparative study aims to evaluate the outcomes of septoplasty with or without inferior turbinate reduction in patients with symptomatic deviated nasal septum. Subjective and objective outcomes will be assessed using the NOSE score, Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF), and nasal endoscopic examination before and after surgery.

Participant Group/Arms

septoplasty aloneActive Comparator

Patients will undergo septoplasty alone for correction of symptomatic deviated nasal septum. Postoperative outcomes will be assessed using NOSE score, Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF), and endoscopic examination.

Procedure: septoplasty

septoplasty with inferior turbinate reductionActive Comparator

Patients will undergo septoplasty combined with inferior turbinate reduction for correction of symptomatic deviated nasal septum with associated inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Postoperative outcomes will be assessed using NOSE score, Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow (PNIF), and endoscopic examination.

Procedure: septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction.
