Comparison on the Effectiveness and Safety of Transseptal Suturing Versus Intranasal Splints After Septoplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: The application of transseptal suturing as an alternative to intranasal splints in preventing postoperative complications, such as synechia, and maintaining nasal septal stability following Septoplasty, remains controversial. This meta-analysis aims to systematically compare the effectiveness and safety of transseptal suturing with intranasal splints after Septoplasty.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic literature review based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted.
