Endoscopic Septoplasty with Inferior Turbinoplasty as Day Case Procedure Among Yemeni Patients

Objective: Endoscopic septoplasty is increasingly performed as day cases worldwide as well as in our practice.Our aim was to identify if our septoplasty patients fulfill the day case criteria and to audit our postoperative complications. Patients and Methods:A prospective study of all endoscopic septoplasties performed between June 2019 and December 2020.Overnight admission or readmission rate and medical or surgical complications were recorded.Results: Out of the 60 patients, no one needed overnight admission or readmission.No early or late postoperative complications were recorded apart from one septal perforations (1.7%).The perforation was small, non-symptomatic at posterior septum.Conclusions: Day case endoscopic septoplasty can be safely performed with no need for overnight admission or readmission in well selected patients.
