Objectives:Nasal septal deviation (NSD) is a common dilemma which cause nasal obstruction. Septoplasty is usually accomplished to solve nasal obstruction in patients with NSD. NSD is related strongly with hypoxia. Hypoxic conditions increase oxidative DNA damage in cells. This study aimed to investigate the effect of septoplasty on the level of antioxidant agents in patients with marked NSD. Methods: Sixty-one patients who submitted to septoplasty were involved in our prospective investigation. Results: The difference between the pre- and postoperative levels of MDA and 8-OHdG/106 dG was statistically significant. Conclusions: Septoplasty is an elective surgery performed to prevent the decrease in quality of life due to nasal obstruction and frequent respiratory tract infections in patients with NSD. As seen in this study, septoplasty is an urgent surgery that should be performed urgently to prevent DNA damage in patients with NSD
