This systematic review and meta-analysis of 721 patients revealed the efficacy of septoplasty, with or without turbinate surgery, in improving nasal obstruction symptoms at 6 and 12 months. Additionally, septoplasty consists of a relatively low rate of complications such as bleeding, infection, and septal perforation. Furthermore, a low revision rate was found. Septoplasty improved the quality of life, especially after 6 and 12 months. However, our findings should be interpreted with caution, and further research is needed to consolidate our results.
