Trans-septal Quilting Suturing vs Intranasal Silicone Splinting in Septoplasty
Sponsor: Shahida Islam Medical Complex
Summary
There is currently little data comparing intranasal silicone splinting versus trans-septal quilted suturing in terms of preventing problems following septoplasty. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of intranasal silicone splinting with trans-septal quilted suturing following septoplasty. After septoplasty, this study will give us a better procedure with fewer adverse effects. Based on the outcomes, we can then regularly use that specific approach in our general practice to treat these specific individuals in an effort to lower their morbidity

Interventions
trans-septal quilting suturing
The dead space in group A will be closed using a 3-0 vicryl and a curved cutting needle. The suture was first positioned at the posterior end of the septum under endoscopic view, and a knot will be tied at the distal end of the suture material. After that, the process continued continuously from inferior to superior side-to-side in a zigzag pattern until the caudal end of the septum was reached. The suture will then be tied on itself, usually on the side opposite the first knot
intranasal silicone splinting
a 2-0 silk mattress suture will be used to secure a 1 mm flat silicone splint that has been covered with fucidin ointment intranasally and bilaterally around the septum at the caudal end. Every patient will be monitored for a week, during which time any post-operative pain and any septal hematomas as defined by the procedure will be recorded. Following surgery, synachiae will be evaluated four weeks later
