The effect of septal surgery on nasal symptoms.
Sixty patients scheduled for septal surgery were assessed preoperatively with regard to their symptoms of nasal obstruction, catarrh and facial pain. They were scored on a linear analogue scale and then re-assessed two months postoperatively. There was a highly significant improvement in scores for all three symptoms (p less than 0.005).
