Abstract
The principal benefits of septal surgery are related to improvement in nasal symptoms. In this study GBI results did not reflect a significant change in health status from septoplasty even in the above criterion group. The significant percentage of patients who did not report satisfaction in the long term, questions the objectivity of surgeons' criteria regarding nasal septal surgery. It also indicates that positive evaluation by patients of septal surgery outcome tends to be attenuated with time.
