Aims: Septal deviation is one of the common causes of the unilateral blockage of the nasal airway, which may lead to trauma to nose and the middle part of the face. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of septovlasty surgery on the function of the eustachian tube and middle ear pressure.
Instrument & Methods: This study is a prospective cohort that was performed during 2019 with the participation of 70 patients after septoplasty surgery in the hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Middle ear pressure was measured before and after surgery using a MADSEN tympanometer and the results were compared.
Findings: After septoplasty by eustachian tube function, for 56 patients on the opposite side of the nasal septum and on the opposite side of the nasal septum, 14 patients with 14 patients with bilateral deviation were removed, -3.89±51.52 and -13.04±60.59, respectively. These values for 84 patients including 14 patients with bilateral deviation were -6.14±51.92.
Conclusion: Septoplasty surgery does not have effect on eustachian tube function and middle ear pressure, and septoplasty surgery is not necessary before ear surgeries such as tympanoplasty.
