Effects of seasonal conditions on septorhinoplasty patients

Abstract

Our study aims to investigate the seasonal effects on the breath and quality of life (QoL) of patients who underwent septorhinoplasty (SRP). A total of 52 patients who underwent SRP between 2018-2023 were included in the study. Two groups those who operated in the winter (winter group, n=26) and those who performed in the summer (summer group, n=26) were evaluated with the NOSE (Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation) scale to reveal the QoL after surgery. Compared with the summer group, NOSE scores in the winter group showed a statistically significant difference (p [Med-Science 2023; 12(4.000): 1210-2]
