Septoplasty
Articles and resources for Septoplasty in ENT (otolaryngology).
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated septum, which is the cartilage and bone structure that divides the nasal cavity. Individuals may consider septoplasty if they experience chronic nasal obstruction, frequent sinus infections, or difficulty breathing through the nose. Other reasons for this procedure can include snoring issues and complications from nasal trauma. By addressing these concerns, septoplasty can enhance airflow and improve overall nasal function.
The procedure is typically performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the case and patient preference. During septoplasty, the surgeon makes an incision inside the nose to access the septum, reshaping or removing parts of it to create a straighter alignment. The surgery usually lasts about one to two hours, and patients can often return home the same day. Recovery involves managing discomfort and following care instructions to promote healing, with many resuming normal activities within a week or two.
The benefits of septoplasty often include improved breathing, reduced sinus infections, and better sleep quality. Many patients report a significant enhancement in their quality of life post-surgery. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, such as bleeding, infection, and the possibility of needing additional surgery. Patients may also experience temporary discomfort or changes in sensation. Understanding these factors can help individuals make informed decisions regarding their nasal health.
