About this study
Official title: Endoscopic Versus Conventional Septoplasty in the Treatment of Deviated Nasal Septum
This study aims to compare the two techniques of relieving nasal obstruction, and its efficacy in the relief of headache, hyposmia and post-nasal drip and nasal synechiae formation and /or other postoperative complications following each techniques of surgery.
Read the detailed description
A straight septum is found not to be the dominant but the exception.
A deviated septum can be asymptomatic or can cause functional and cosmetic abnormality. it also can become symptomatic at any age. Deviated nasal septum not only causes breathing difficulties but also causes improper aeration of para nasal sinuses leading to infection, so any functional or cosmetic disturbance caused by a deviated septum should be treated. Different surgeries have been proposed for the correction of deviated nasal septum. Initially, submucosal resection of septum was proposed but was later replaced by septoplasty .
Septoplasty is the procedure of choice in nasal obstruction caused by septal deviation resistant to medical treatment. It also improves access to the medial meatus in sinus surgery and other nasal and sinus procedures, such as cosmetic rhinoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery(FESS)
Modern septoplasty techniques were initially described separately in the early twenties century by Killian and Freer. It is conventionally performed under direct visualization using a headlight and nasal speculum. However, this method has the drawbacks of relatively poor illumination and accessibility and no magnification, calling for a larger incision and elevation of larger flaps often on both sides of the septum. As a result, there are higher chances of over-resection and over manipulation. Endoscopic septoplasty has been commonly performed since the development of endonasal surgery and as as an alternative to the conventional technique. In this study the I investigators aim to compare the two techniques of relieving nasal obstruction, and its efficacy in the relief of headache, hyposmia and post-nasal drip and nasal synechiae formation following each techniques of surgery.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
endoscopic septoplastyProcedure or surgery
endoscopic septoplasty is the use of nasal endoscopy in the septoplasty surgery for treatment of deviated nasal septum . we aim to compare the outcome of using this method versus conventional septoplasty
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| endoscopic septoplasty | Active comparator | in this arm the participants will undergo endoscopic septoplasty for correction of the deviated nasal septum Receives: Procedure: endoscopic septoplasty |
| conventional septoplasty | Active comparator | in this arm the participants will undergo conventional septoplasty operation for correction of the deviated nasal septum that will done by surgical traditional septoplasty technique using head lamb and anterior rhinoscopy Receives: Procedure: endoscopic septoplasty |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
The percentage of patients free from symptoms after surgery
the relive of the nasal obstruction symptoms as difficult breathing and nasal discharge and the complication of each method of surgery as synechia formation and postoperative bleeding
Measured: 3 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact mostafa m mahmoud, ba (+201061877662, mostafamahrouss@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
The percentage of patients free from symptoms after surgery (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03666130, which also lists 8 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
