Abstract
This article provides a review of modern techniques in the surgical management of the deviated septum with emphasis on the comparison of traditional versus endoscopic septoplasty approaches. Relevant anatomy and physiology of the nasal septum are discussed. A brief history of the evolution of the surgical approaches for the correction of a deviated septum is provided. Traditional and endoscopic septoplasty techniques are reviewed; the indications, advantages, and limitations of each approach are highlighted. Potential complications of septoplasty, with a focus on prevention and management, are also discussed.
