Abstract
Although the septoplasty is considered as curable surgical procedure, by
which the mal-ventilation disorders due to the deviated nasal septum can be
sufficiently cured. In the same time, this surgical procedure may become unsafe
operation that end with bad results, which cannot be tolerated by the surgeon
as well as the patient. These unaccepted results may make the patient severely
suffering and sometimes they become very difficult or even impossible to be
treated. In accordance, as it is
observed throughout our long-term experience, the main aim of the most of the
surgeons is the correction of the nasal septal deviation as much as possible
despite of the unsafe as well as more aggressive technical steps that may be
performed to achieve this aim. This can be applied as the cornerstone for the
diagnosis of the main reason of the failed septoplasty with badly stigmatic
postoperative results. Thus, we tried at our presentation to focus more and
more on this commonly performed surgical procedure in rhinology. This will be
through the highlighting of these associated problems via three parts of
discussion. First, we tried to present and classify these major postoperative
complications, then we gave the possible descriptions and explanations for the
pathogenesis of these complications, and finally, according to our long-term
experience and trials, we suggest certain methods and maneuvers to improve the outcomes
of this important surgical procedure.
