Septoplasty

Septoplasty is a corrective surgery for the deviated septum which can narrow the nasal cavity and obstruct normal airflow.

Common Indications for Septoplasty

Obstruction of one or both nostrils
Nosebleeds
Facial pain
Noisy breathing during sleep
Awareness of the nasal cycle
Preference for sleeping on a particular side

Treatment of Septoplasty

Step 1

The patient needs to be given general or local anesthesia.

Step 2

Through the nostrils, an incision is made in the lining of the septum to remove the cartilage or bone which is causing the blockage. The badly deviated portions of the septum may be removed entirely, or readjusted and reinserted into the nose.

Step 3

After the removal of cartilage or bone, the mucus membrane is placed back in its position.

Step 4

Nasal packing is inserted to prevent excessive post-operative bleeding. The septum may be held in place with splints or small plastic tubes and there may be few internal stitches.
