Summary

Septoplasty is one of the most performed surgeries in rhinology as a solo procedure, or in combination with sinus surgery. The procedure for septoplasty and postoperative management has evolved over time based on several studies that have been done. The current standard of care in our centre is to conduct a septoplasty using quilting technique and apply Doyle splints in both nostrils to stabilize the septum for 6 days. However these splints are associated with morbidity in the post-op period. The quilting technique was developed to prevent complications and stabilize the septum. This study examines the efficacy of these splints in stabilizing the septum and preventing complications after septoplasty
