We understand that ear, nose, and throat surgeons who regularly work with these instruments might find this counterintuitive, but the Article was written for a general audience of patients, clinicians, researchers, and policy makers - all of whom need to be involved in the development of an evidence-based guideline on septoplasty. We compared patients who underwent septoplasty alone to patients who had received septoplasty with concurrent turbinate surgery, and found that the first group performed slightly better, although the difference was not significant.[2] In our trial population, the median duration of nasal complaints was 7 years and about three quarters had received intranasal corticosteroids before.[2] Ear, nose, and throat surgeons seem already to be selective in their indication for septoplasty, and we believe our findings should not change this.
