Abstrakt: Background: Deviated Nasal Septum with Hypertrophy of Inferior turbinate on opposite side is a common finding. There are various objective and subjective tests to assess nasal obstruction. Materials and Methods: In this Randomized Controlled trail 82 subjects of Deviated Nasal Septum and contralateral hypertrophy of Inferior Turbinate were included. Subjects were randomly divided into two surgical groups, Septoplasty with inferior turbinoplasty and septoplasty alone. Pre and postoperative Subjective assessment of nasal obstruction was done with NOSE scale and Objective assessment by Nasal endoscopy. Results: Post operative improvement in nasal symptoms on NOSE scale was from 15.83± 1.99 to 7.63 ± 1.34 in septoplasty with turbinoplasty group and that in septoplasty alone group it improved from 15.15 ± 2.14 to 10.05 ± 1.79 which was statistically significant improvement in both the groups. But on comparison amongst to groups postoperative improvement in nasal symptoms was more significant statistically in Septoplasty with inferior turbinoplasty group (p<0.001). Conclusion: In patients with symptomatic nasal septal deviation with hypertrophy of the contralateral inferior turbinate, septoplasty along with inferior turbinoplasty provides better symptomatic relief of nasal symptoms than septoplasty alone.
