Trigeminal endonasal perception - an outcome predictor for septoplasty.

CONCLUSION: The preoperative evaluation of the trigeminal sensitivity could improve patients' selection for septoplasty with a higher rate of satisfaction. Endonasal trigeminal sensitivity is directly linked with subjective outcome. Therefore, patients with low trigeminal sensitivity should undergo septoplasty only after thorough counselling.
