About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to see the outcomes of the two techniques used after septoplasty in terms of postoperative nasal pain and nasal bleeding in the patients with deviated nasal septum of 18 to 50 years of age presented in a tertiary care hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. any significant difference between the two techniques in terms of post operative nasal pain? 2. any significant difference between the two techniques in terms of post operative nasal bleeding? Researchers will be comparing the outcomes of these two techniques while participants already admitted in ward will be examined on 1st postoperative day.
