PURPOSE: This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of batten grafts in pediatric septoplasty for caudal septal deviation, focusing on nasal function and postoperative outcomes.
METHODS: A prospective analysis of 29 pediatric patients aged 4 years and older assessed nasal function preoperatively and postoperatively using the Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) throughout the 6-month follow-up period.
RESULTS: Significant improvements in nasal function were noted, with the mean NOSE score decreasing from 86.03 preoperatively to 12.76 at 6 months (p < 0.001). VAS scores improved from a median of 3 preoperatively to 9 at 1 month, remaining stable at 6 months (p < 0.001). Most patients (75.9%) experienced no complications, with minimal adverse effects such as nasal crustation and residual deviation.
CONCLUSION: Batten grafts in pediatric caudal septoplasty are a safe and effective option for improving nasal function, though further research is needed to assess long-term effects on facial growth and aesthetics.
