Abstract

Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is a common anatomical variation that can lead to various symptoms, including nasal obstruction and impaired olfaction. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure commonly performed to correct NSD and alleviate associated symptoms. This short communication aims to explore the impact of septoplasty on olfaction and quality of life (QoL) in patients with NSD. We conducted a literature review to summarize the current understanding of olfactory dysfunction in NSD and the effects of septoplasty on olfaction and QoL. Additionally, we present a case study illustrating the improvement in olfaction and QoL following septoplasty in a patient with NSD. Our findings highlight the importance of considering olfactory function and QoL outcomes when evaluating the efficacy of Septoplasty in patients with NSD
