Is preoperative paranasal sinus computed tomography necessary for every patient undergoing septoplasty?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Diagnostic nasal endoscopy is a routine measure of sinonasal inflammation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). Although multiple staging systems have been proposed and evaluated, evidence of association between concurrent symptoms and endoscopic findings remains discordant. The goal of this study i...
