Endoscopic septoplasty – indications, advantages and disadvantages

Endoscopic septoplasty is a contemporary, minimally in­va­sive technique used to correct septal deviations. It provides su­pe­rior visualization of the operating field and better con­trol of he­mo­stasis. In comparison with the clas­sical ap­proach, this method has been shown to result in reduced tis­sue trauma, ac­ce­le­ra­ted recovery, and the po­ten­tial for con­co­mi­tant ad­di­tio­nal endoscopic pro­ce­dures. How­ever, it is imperative to emphasize that the procedure de­mands a high level of sur­gi­cal expertise and meticulous postoperative care. Whilst this constitutes an effective alternative for pa­tients who have been ap­pro­pria­tely selected, it is not with­out risk or limi­ta­tions.
