Nasal Mucosa Hypertrophy, Nasal Obstruction, Nasal Septum; Deviation
Conditions
Keywords
nasal obstruction, septoplasty, turbinoplasty, nasal mucosa, nasal septum
Brief summary
Pathological-anatomical changes in the nasal cavity (nasal septum/perforation, mucosal hypertrophy) negatively affect nasal airflow, increase resistance - cause nasal obstruction and are often an indication for surgery. The aim of the study is to examine nasal airflow parameters after septoplasty and turbinoplasty .
Detailed description
Pathological-anatomical changes in the nasal cavity (nasal septum/perforation, mucosal hypertrophy) negatively affect nasal airflow, increase resistance - cause nasal obstruction and are often an indication for surgery. The aim of the study is to examine nasal airflow parameters at pre-defined intervals in patients after septoplasty and turbinoplasty .
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTRhinomanometry in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty
Rhinomanometry is an examination used to assess changes in resistance and airflow in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTAcoustic rhinometry in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty
Acoustic rhinometry is an examination used to assess changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage in patients after septoplasty and/or turbinoplasty.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Changes in resistance | 6 and 12 weeks after surgery | Changes in resistance (measured in Pa-s/ml - Pascal-second/millilitre) will be assessed with rhinomanometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. |
| Changes in airflow | 6 and 12 weeks after surgery | Changes in airflow (measured in ml/s - millilitres/second) will be assessed with rhinomanometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. |
| Changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage | 6 and 12 weeks after surgery | Changes in the cross-sectional area of the nasal passage will be assessed with acoustic rhinometry 6 and 12 weeks after surgery. |
