What this trial studies

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of three different techniques—trans-nasal quilting sutures, nasal packing, and intra-nasal silicon splinting—in preventing complications following endoscopic septoplasty. Septoplasty is performed to correct a deviated septum, but complications can arise post-operatively. The study will evaluate which method minimizes complications such as septal hematoma and improves patient quality of life. Healthy adults aged 16 to 60 with symptomatic deviated nasal septum will be included in the trial.
