Abstract
Abstract
Object
To compare Polysomnography and Pulmonary function tests before and after Septoplasty with Turbinectomy in patients complaining of nasal obstruction and sleep problems due to deviated septum with hypertrophic inferior turbinate.
Methods
90 patients underwent Septoplasty with Turbinectomy due to nasal obstruction and sleep problems involved in this study, their sleep quality evaluated by polysomnography before and after the surgery, their pulmonary functions assessed by spirometry before and after the operation.
Results
The postoperative pulmonary function values; FVC, FEV1, PEFR and postoperative polysomonographic values; AHI, Snoring index/hour, SpaO2 were higher than the preoperative values, and the results were statistically significant (p-values
