Endoscopic Septoplasty Versus Traditional Septoplasty for Treating Deviated Nasal Septum: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Importance: This is the first randomized study to compare the quality of life of patients undergoing endoscopic septoplasty compared to traditional trans-nasal trans-speculum (TNTS) septoplasty.

Objective: To assess the clinical outcomes and quality of life results of endoscopic versus TNTS septoplasty in patients with septal deviation and nasal obstruction.

Design: A prospective, randomized controlled trial comparing 2 approaches of septoplasty: endoscopic and TNTS septoplasty performed in a single institution during the years 2016 to2017.
