Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of endoscopic septoplasty surgery by using the NOSE and VAS scores. Subject and method: A case-by-case descriptive study with intervention on 63 patients had endoscopic septoplasty surgery at 103 Military Hospital from 5/2021 to 4/2023. Result: Mean age 37.6 ± 9.24; Deformity of the septum was mainly type III (accounting for 85.7%); 100% preoperatively had nasal congestion; The mean scores of NOSE and VAS before surgery were 14.53 and 7.56, after 3 months of surgery were 4.05 and 3.02, the change in score was statistically significant with p<0.001; Before surgery, the average percentage of NOSE and VAS scores were similar, after surgery, NOSE scores improved better than VAS. Conclusion: Both NOSE and VAS scores can be used to evaluate the outcome of endoscopic septoplasty surgery. However, the NOSE scale showed a better, more detailed assessment when used to measure nasal congestion compared with VAS.
