Conditions

Health Condition 1: H681- Obstruction of Eustachian tube Health Condition 2: H681- Obstruction of Eustachian tube Health Condition 3: H681- Obstruction of Eustachian tube

Interventions

Intervention1: Septoplasty: Septoplasty- the surgery done to correct the deviation of nasal bone would be performed in the patients Control Intervention1: Eustachian tube function and nasal resistance

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: All the consecutive/sequential patients in the age group of 18 years to 70 years with nasal or ear complaints, diagnosed with DNS, Eustachian tube dysfunction, regardless of gender, and ethnicity, presenting to ENT outpatient department, ENT ward or casualty of AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: History of recent trauma Neoplasms of nose/PNS Acute infections Craniofacial anomalies Concha bullosa Paradoxical middle turbinate / double middle Patients below the age group of 18 years. Genetic diseases.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
There is a poor correlation between objective measurements and subjective nasal potency symptoms, several studies in which objective measures were used showed no correlation with patient satisfaction after septoplasty (9). If septum is a cause of Eustachian tube dysfunction, the Ear surgery results are less than adequate and also cause recurrence of the ear condition. This study would also facilitate authentification of the Endoscopic anatomic classification of deviated nasal septum given by senior author and study its types affecting eustachian tube function and grading it accordingly and measure nasal resistance and correlate the above parameters.Timepoint: Assessment will be done preoperative and one week postoperative. total study time would be two years.	—
