NCT02653950

Brief Summary

In this study the investigators aim to assess whether endoscopic septoplasty is effective at improving patients QOL and reducing postoperative signs and complications. Primary outcome: To assess the differences in overall QOL between endoscopic and traditional septoplasty after adjusting for pertinent confounding variables. Secondary outcomes:

  1. 1.To evaluate the post-operative complication rate in patients undergoing endoscopic septoplasty compared to traditional.
  2. 2.To evaluate the differences in the operation time between the two different approaches.
