| Introduction: By doing this study, the above question can be answered to some extent and if it is proven that septovlasty surgery has a significant effect on the function of the Eustachian tube and middle ear pressure, the necessity of performing the above operation before performing important ear surgeries, especially tympanoplasty, can be emphasized.
Material and Methods: This study is a prospective cohort that was performed during 2019 with the participation of 70 patients after septoplasty surgery in the hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Middle ear pressure was measured before and after surgery using a MADSEN tympanometer and the results were compared.
Results: After septoplasty by Eustachian tube function, for 56 patients on the opposite side of the nasal septum and on the opposite side of the nasal septum, 14 patients with 14 patients with bilateral deviation were removed, -3.89 ± 51.52 and -13.04 ± 60.59, respectively. These values for 84 patients including 14 patients with bilateral deviation were -6.14 ± 51.92.
Conclusion: Septoplasty in patients with nasal congestion due to nasal septal deviation who had no middle ear pathology did not change the middle ear pressure and Eustachian tube function after 3-6 months. Finally, based on this study and similar studies, it can be concluded that septoplasty surgery does not have a significant effect on Eustachian tube function and middle ear pressure, and septoplasty surgery is not necessary before ear surgeries such as tympanoplasty. |
