Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Duration of Suture Placement
Duration of surgery will be measured in seconds, from the placement of the first suture to the completion of the last suture, and compared between the quilting suture and chain suture groups.
During the surgical procedure

Secondary Outcomes (4)

Postoperative Pain
Postoperative days 1, 2, and 3
Postoperative Bleeding
Immediately after surgery and on postoperative days 2 and 3
Septal Hematoma
Postoperative day 1, postoperative day 15, and 1 month
Adhesions/Synechiae Formation
Postoperative day 15 and 1 month

Study Arms (2)

Quilting Suture

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will undergo septoplasty with closure and stabilization of the nasal septal flaps using the quilting suture technique. A 3/0 synthetic absorbable Vicryl continuous single suture will be used.

Procedure: Quilting Suture Technique

Chain Suture

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will undergo septoplasty with closure and stabilization of the nasal septal flaps using the chain suture technique. A 3/0 synthetic absorbable Vicryl suture will be used.

Procedure: Chain Suture Technique

Interventions

Quilting Suture TechniqueProcedure

A continuous quilting suture technique used to obliterate the dead space and stabilize the mucoperichondrial flaps following septoplasty. A 3/0 synthetic absorbable Vicryl suture is used.

Quilting Suture

Chain Suture TechniqueProcedure

A running chain suture technique in which the suture is passed through the nasal septum and interlooped with itself on the opposite side to stabilize the septal flaps. A 3/0 synthetic absorbable Vicryl suture is used.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Model Details: This is a two-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial. Eligible patients undergoing septoplasty will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to receive either quilting suture or chain suture for septal stabilization. Each participant will remain in the assigned intervention group throughout the study.
