What is Septoplasty Surgery?

Septoplasty is a procedure designed to correct problems with the nasal septum. These could include a crooked or deviated septum. The procedure involves repositioning, or taking out parts of the septum to widen airways and allow for normal airflow. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. It can be performed together with other procedures, for instance rhinoplasty, to treat additional nasal problems.

• The traditional septoplasty : The procedure involves making an incision through the nostril to reach and correct the septum’s deviated. This method is focused on reshaping or removing parts of the septal cartilage, as well as bone.
• Octoseptoplasty with Endoscopic : Uses an endoscope examine and repair the septum using small cuts. This procedure usually results in less discomfort post-operatively and an earlier recovery.
• Septorhinoplasty : It combines septoplasty and the rhinoplasty procedure to tackle both aesthetic and functional issues. This procedure improves septal alignment and the appearance of the exterior of the nose.

Diagnosis for Septoplasty

Diagnostics begin with an extensive examination of symptoms and medical background. A specialist in ENT will conduct physical examinations, which include an endoscopic assessment of nasal passageways in order to determine the severity of the nasal deviation. Imaging studies, like the CT scan, can be used to provide more detailed information on the nasal structure as well as guide the surgical procedure. The aim is to find the most efficient method for improving the septal alignment and enhancing nasal function.

Treatment Process

The procedure begins with a thorough consult to discuss the conditions, options for treatment and the expected results. The septoplasty procedure is generally performed under general anesthesia where the septum deviated is fixed by cutting an incision within the nostril. After surgery, patients are required to manage the pain, following nasal treatment instructions following up appointments to track the healing process and verify the efficacy of the procedure. Patients typically experience better breathing and less nasal congestion after a couple of weeks after recovery.

Care and Recovery After Surgery

The process of recovering from septoplasty has many important aspects. It is recommended that patients stay in bed and avoid vigorous activities in the first few weeks of recovery. Nasal care guidelines including applying saline sprays and staying away from blowing the nose are given to assist in healing and lessen discomfort. Treatment for pain and possibly antibiotics are prescribed in order to prevent infections and treat symptoms. It is essential to follow-up with your doctor in order to monitor the progress of recovery and address any issues.
