Paediatric septoplasty in the UK: a national survey of current attitudes and practice
Key Points
Variable practices in paediatric septoplasty suggest a lack of consensus among practitioners, leading to different approaches.
Long-term outcomes remain uncertain, necessitating prospective longitudinal studies to assess effectiveness over time.
Current attitudes towards paediatric septoplasty differ greatly, affecting decision-making in treatment options.
The exploration of practice variability indicates the need for standardized guidelines to ensure quality care.
Abstract
Paediatric septoplasty is being offered in the UK, but attitudes remain divided and practice is highly variable. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to clarify long-term outcomes.
