- Patients also reported being underprepared for post surgery recovery.

- Surgeons welcomed more standard measurements to guide decision-making.

- Need for a decision aid for patients to enable shared decision-making and help to provide optimal patient experience of the treatments.

Findings:
- Most patients seemed to experience symptom relief from septoplasty, however;
- There was also varied individual experiences.
