Sixty consecutive patients (48 males, 12 females; age range 16 to 57, mean age 35 years) underwent nasal septal surgery at our out-patient department for symptoms of nasal obstruction. The operations were performed under local anaesthesia supplemented with 2.5-5 mg intravenous midazolam. Only one surgeon and one nurse were needed for the procedure. The total time spent at the hospital averaged three hours. The preliminary short-term results of surgery are comparable to those at our day-care unit. The complication rate was negligible. Ninety-five per cent of these patients regarded the arrangements for their operation as safe. Our results show that nasal septal surgery can be performed with good cost-effectiveness, satisfactory quality and with good safety and patient satisfaction as an out-patient procedure.
60例连续患者（48例男性，12例女性；年龄范围16至57岁，平均年龄35岁）因鼻塞症状在我院门诊接受鼻中隔手术。手术在局部麻醉并静脉补充2.5 - 5毫克咪达唑仑的情况下进行。该手术仅需一名外科医生和一名护士。患者在医院的总停留时间平均为三小时。手术的初步短期结果与我们日间护理单元的结果相当。并发症发生率可忽略不计。这些患者中有95%认为其手术安排是安全的。我们的结果表明，鼻中隔手术作为门诊手术可以以良好的成本效益、令人满意的质量以及良好的安全性和患者满意度来进行。
