| Anotation | Nasal cavity is used to heat, humidify and purify the air before entering other parts of the respiratory system. Other functions of the nose include, in particular, olfactory, immune, reflex or sexual functions. Proper airflow through the nasal cavity is essential for all nasal functions. Anatomical or flow changes can significantly affect nasal functions. Endoscopic transnasal surgical approaches are modern, mini-invasive methods, enabling surgical treatment of pathologies in the area of cranial base through the nasal cavity. Advantage of this technique is the absence of external incisions and scars and significantly better cosmetic effect, these methods also offer very good clarity and illumination of the operating field. Disadvantage is risk of affecting the nasal functions. The larger extent of septal resection allows surgeon to have a better overview and maneuverability in the operated area, which allows sufficient radicality and allows the solution of possible complications. On the other hand, greater resection also means greater interference with the anatomy of the nasal cavity and possible influence on nasal functions. The aim of this project is to compare the effect of different extent of resection of the posterior part of the septum on the postoperative function of the nose. |
