Croatia90 participantsStarted 2025-04-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study will be to compare postoperative nasal airflow and symptom improvement using a NOSE form in patients after different types of surgical treatment. Patients will be treated with one of the following operations: septoplasty with turbinectomy, septoplasty with radiofrequent ablation of the nasal turbinates, or septoplasty with valvuloplasty. This is a single-center prospective randomized interventional comparative study on patients in a tertiary rhinology center, who will undergo septoplasty alongside one additional rhinologic procedure aimed at improving nasal patency.
