Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Multiple methods exist for nasal septoplasty. Proliferation of endoscopic technology has broadened these options. METHODS:Technical description of two techniques for endoscopic septoplasty. RESULTS:The endoscope can be utilized for visualization under the flaps after, a Killian or hemitransfixion incision, to address broad-based convexities.Endoscopic visualization is also useful when resecting focal spurs, with the incision placed directly over the spur apex. CONCLUSION:With careful patient selection and technique application, use of the endoscope has augmented the practice of septoplasty.
