Evaluate outcome of endoscopic septoplasty with Quilting sutures: Using the NOSE scale, SNOT-22, and nasal mucociliary clearance

Purpose: Using the NOSE scale, SNOT-22, and nasal mucociliary clearance to evaluate outcome of endoscopic septoplasty with quilting sutures. Materials and Methods: Seventy-six patients who underwent endoscopic septoplasty with quilting sutures between March 2022 and June 2023 was conducted. Method was prospective, descriptive study with clinical intervention. Results: Functional symptoms: nasal discharge and nasal obstruction in all cases, sneezing 94.7%, headache 54%, smell disorders 25%. Septal deviation angle classification: 51.3% mild, 34.2% moderate, 14.5% severe. The NOSE score, SNOT-22 score, and nasal mucociliary clearance showed significant improvements at one month and three months postoperative septoplasty. Conclusion: The endoscopic septoplasty with quilting sutures significantly improve the functional symptoms and nasal mucociliary clearance.
