OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of nasal septal surgery on quality of life. METHODS: A total of 49 patients who underwent septoplasty and/or inferior turbinate radiofrequency operations for nasal septal deviation and inferior turbinate hypertrophy were prospectively enrolled in the study. All patients completed the adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder scale (ADHD scale) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) before and after septoplasty. Acoustic rhinometric measurements were also recorded. RESULTS: Acoustic rhinometric measurements and PSQI showed statistically significant improvement after nasal surgery (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: Besides the functional improvement of septoplasty, a long-lasting improvement in the quality of life is observed in patients with that undergo this surgery.
