Recent literature has already embraced the topic of endoscopic septoplasty, with several published articles on the subject. This approach provides a direct-targeted route to the anatomic deformity, improved visualization, and magnification of the surgical field. It allows improved evaluation of the posterior nasal septal deformities, identification of the degree of mucosal involvement of the posterior ends of the inferior turbinates, and concomitant assessment of the middle meatus. It permits objective documentation of the cause of nasal obstruction with possible use in outcome assessment. It is also an effective teaching method and a motivating approach for the nursing team. We present our experience in a series of 47 patients performed during a 1 1/2-year period and discuss the surgical technique and patients' outcomes. We systematically used the endoscope for all septal and turbinate surgery. We evaluated outcomes using a telephone survey along with a validated disease-specific health status measure and a global rating questionnaire.
近期的文献已经涉及了内镜鼻中隔成形术这一主题，有几篇关于该主题的已发表文章。这种方法为解剖畸形提供了一条直接靶向的途径，改善了可视化效果，并放大了手术视野。它有助于更好地评估鼻中隔后部畸形，确定下鼻甲后端黏膜受累程度，并同时评估中鼻道。它能够客观记录鼻阻塞的原因，可能用于结果评估。它也是一种有效的教学方法，对护理团队来说是一种激励方式。我们介绍了在1年半时间内对47例患者进行手术的经验，并讨论了手术技术和患者的结果。我们在所有鼻中隔和鼻甲手术中系统地使用了内镜。我们通过电话调查以及经过验证的特定疾病健康状况测量方法和总体评分问卷来评估结果。
