SPECTRUM OF SEPTORHINOPLASTY-AN OBSERVATIONAL PROSPECTIVE STUDY

The septoplasty makes the nose altered and improved.. The shape and contour of the nose are greatly influenced by the nasal septum, The septorhinoplasty is to improve the appearance of nose (rhinoplasty) and to improve how you breathe through nose (septoplasty). It involves operating on the bones and cartilage that give shape and structure to nose and and making septum straight. The nasal septum is the cartilage and bone in nose. The septum divides the nasal cavity into a right and left side. The evaluation and effectiveness of spectrum of septrorhinoplasty on quality of life has been analysed through qualitative questionories with the patient who underwent surgery. The subject group comprised with majority of males (15 males) and 10 females. The age ranged between 8 and 50 years among those who presented to the rhinoplasty The average increase in patient satisfaction after surgery was 44.8+13, from a mean preoperative score of 38.9 + 11 to a postoperative score of 82.75+17.2.This study demonstrates that, despite being a complicated treatment, rhinoplasty has a positive effect on both the appearance and functionality of the nose.
