What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty, also known as submucous septal resection or septal reconstruction is a corrective procedure that is performed to straighten the deviated nasal septum, i.e., the middle part of the nose. People with a crooked nose often experience breathing difficulties, which is why it is necessary to undergo this procedure to reshape or reconstruct the nose in an ideal way. If you also have a deviated septum, contact our ENT specialists and undergo septoplasty in the safest way possible.

Your consultation with our septoplasty surgeon in Bangalore will begin with the doctor asking about your symptoms and how long have you been having those symptoms. The doctor will examine the inside of your nose with the use of bright light. The doctor may also check the nasal tissues before and after applying a decongestant nasal spray. Based on your diagnosis, the septoplasty doctor will evaluate your deviated septum and determine the severity of your condition. The severity of your condition is an important factor in determining the treatment. Your ENT doctor will suggest the most suitable and beneficial treatment option for your case.
The nasal septum is the partition of the nose and is made up of bone and cartilage that separates both the nasal cavities from each other. Septoplasty is the surgery that corrects the defects and deformities of the nasal septum. This surgery aims to straighten the nasal septum in the midline position, as much as possible and clear the airway by removing the deviated part and restructuring the bone and cartilage. We perform septoplasty as an outpatient procedure under local or general anesthesia, based on the needs of the condition. Our ENT doctors have an unparalleled record of performing successful ENT surgeries like FESS, septoplasty, tonsillectomy, and so on. If you are suffering from problems associated with deviated nasal septum such as breathing difficulties, snoring, nasal blockage, or congestion, a septoplasty surgery can greatly improve your life and eliminate such symptoms. You can make your appointment with our ENT doctor for nasal septum treatment in Bangalore.

Get lifelong relief from breathing difficulties and congestion caused due to deviated septum 

A deviated nasal septum is one of the most common causes of breathing problems (when breathing through the nose). The nasal septum is the wall that separates the two nostrils or nasal passages. If the septum is deviated more to one side, it may impair the airflow in and out of the nose. Usually, a septum deviation does not cause serious or concerning symptoms and demand no intervention. However, in some cases, a nasal septum deviation can cause nasal congestion and obstruction, obstructive sleep apnea, facial pressure and pain or nose bleeds.

What to expect after your septoplasty surgery? 

Your ENT doctor will brief you about the entire pre and post operative process prior to your surgery. Septoplasty procedure typically lasts about an hour and is performed under the influence of local or general anesthesia. Use of anesthesia or sedation prior to the procedure makes the surgery absolutely pain free for the patient.  Most patients are discharged the same day, or to the maximum, next day after the procedure. If you follow your doctor’s recommendations and precautions, complications are not likely to occur during the recovery period. 

Recovery after septoplasty is fairly quick. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities and workouts for 1 to 2 weeks. You will be prescribed medication to manage the pain and swelling before your discharge from the hospital. You need to ensure to take all medications on time and maintain a healthy diet to recover fast. If you have any concerns or complications during the recovery after septoplasty, notify your doctor right away.
