Plain-language summary

Nasal Septal Deviation (NSD) is one of the most common indications for surgery seen by ENT physicians, however, correction requires open surgery which is associated with several weeks of recovery. The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether a suture-based, minimally invasive technique can be used to safely and effectively address NSD.
