Abstract
Object: To compare Polysomnography and Pulmonary function tests before and after Septoplasty with
Turbinectomy in patients complaining of nasal obstruction and sleep problems due to deviated septum with
hypertrophic inferior turbinate.
Methods: 90 patients underwent Septoplasty with Turbinectomy due to nasal obstruction and sleep problems
involved in this study, their sleep quality evaluated by polysomnography before and after the surgery, their
pulmonary functions assessed by spirometry before and after the operation.
Results: The postoperative pulmonary function values; FVC, FEV1, PEFR and postoperative polysomonographic
values; AHI, Snoring index/hour, SpaO2 were higher than the preoperative values, and the results were statistically
significant (p-values
