Abstract
Aims: To know whether reduction of hypertrophied Inferior turbinate in addition to Septoplasty improves outcome of nasal obstruction in patients with deviated nasal septum with inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Methods: 30 patients with septal deviation and contralateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy were recruited in the study, which was carried out at tertiary level center from May 2014 – May 2016. Results: The results of study showed that both following septoplasty & TRS, post-operative mean NOSE score improvement were highly significant but among these two groups, patient who underwent septoplasty along with TRS had better result.
