Abstract
Aim – to improve the quality of life of patients in the early postoperative period after septoplasty.
Material and methods. The study involved patients who underwent septoplasty (n=51). The patients were divided into two groups: in group A (n=26) classic intranasal splints were installed at the end of the operation; in group B (n=25) we used the modified intranasal splints with an integrated rigid duct, with a pressure distributor placed mainly in the anterior nasal septum and the latches along the periphery (patent No. 191163). To assess the patients comfort before and on the first day after surgery, a quality of life assessment questionnaire (Sino-Nasal Outcome Test – SNOT-20) was used. The headache intensity was evaluated in the early postoperative period using a visual analog pain scale. Statistical data processing was carried out using the STATISTICA 12 software.
Results. According to the results of SNOT-20, we obtained a statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvement in the quality of life of patients when using our modified splits against the traditional splits. Comparing the data of the SNOT-20 questionnaire and VAS, we found a statistically significant (p < 0.05) reduction in pain in the early postoperative period when using our intranasal splints with an integrated air duct and pressure distributor.
Conclusion. The use of our modified intranasal splints improves the quality of life of patients in the early postoperative period.
