What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure for correcting a deviated septum, the cartilage, and the bone separating the two nasal passages. A deviated septum can cause breathing difficulties, chronic nasal congestion, frequent sinus infections, and snoring.
Who needs Septoplasty?
Deviated Septum:
When the nasal septum is crooked or off-center, it can lead to breathing difficulties and recurring sinus issues.
Chronic Nasal Congestion:
A deviated septum can cause chronic congestion on one or both sides of the nose.
Recurrent Sinus Infections:
The obstruction caused by a deviated septum can create an environment favorable for sinus infections.
Sleep Apnea and Snoring:
In some cases, septal deviation contributes to sleep-disordered breathing, leading to snoring or sleep apnea.
Benefits of Septoplasty
Improved Breathing:
By straightening the septum, septoplasty enhances airflow, leading to better breathing and reduced nasal congestion.
Better Sleep Quality:
Improved breathing often leads to better sleep patterns and a decrease in sleep-related issues such as snoring.
Relief from Chronic Sinus Issues:
Septoplasty can alleviate chronic sinus infections and reduce the frequency of related complications.
Enhanced Quality of Life:
Addressing nasal obstructions can significantly improve the quality of life, enabling individuals to engage in daily activities easily.
Before Surgery
Consultation and Assessment:
Schedule an appointment with an ENT specialist to evaluate your nasal condition and discuss the need for surgery.
Medical History:
Provide your surgeon with a comprehensive medical history, including allergies, medications, or previous surgeries.
Preoperative Tests:
Your surgeon may recommend blood tests, nasal endoscopy, or imaging studies to assess the severity of the septal deviation.
Medication Adjustments:
Your surgeon may advise adjusting or stopping certain medications, like blood thinners, before the surgery to minimize bleeding risks.
Fasting:
Typically, you will need to fast for a few hours before the surgery.
During the Procedure
Incision:
The surgeon makes an incision inside the nostril to access the deviated septum without leaving any external scars.
Realigning the Septum:
The deviated septum is carefully repositioned, ensuring straight and centered between the nasal passages.
Removal of Obstructions:
Any obstructions, such as excess cartilage or bone, that contribute to nasal blockage are removed.
Stitches and Splints:
Dissolvable stitches are used to close the incision, and splints or nasal packing may be inserted to support the septum during healing.
After Surgery
Hospital Stay:
In most cases, septoplasty is performed as an outpatient procedure. This means patients can return home on the same day.
Recovery Timeline:
Full recovery may take several weeks, during which you should avoid strenuous activities and follow your surgeon's instructions.
Pain Management:
Mild discomfort and congestion are common after surgery; pain medications and nasal decongestants can relieve pain.
Nasal Hygiene:
Keeping the nasal passages clean and moist through saline rinses is vital for proper healing and to reduce the risk of infection.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and address any concerns.
Care you need to take after Nasal Septoplasty
After surgery, your doctor may recommend the following precautions to reduce bleeding and swelling. Depending on your surgery's extent, you may not need to follow all of these:Elevate Your Head While Sleeping:
Sleep with your head elevated to decrease swelling.
Avoid Blowing Your Nose:
Refrain from blowing your nose for several weeks.
Wear Front-Fastening Clothes:
Opt for clothes that fasten in the front to avoid pulling clothing over your head.
Avoid Strenuous Activities:
Don't do vigorous activities such as jogging and aerobics for up to five weeks to prevent nosebleeds.
Types of Surgery
Traditional Septoplasty:
The surgeon accesses the septum through incisions inside the nostrils.
Endoscopic Septoplasty:
The procedure is performed using an endoscope, which allows the surgeon to visualize and operate on the septum through smaller incisions.
Recovery Time after the Surgery
The recovery time after septoplasty varies from person to person, but most individuals can resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery, including resolving swelling and congestion, may take up to four to six weeks.
Risks Associated with the Surgery
Bleeding:
There may be some bleeding during or after the surgery.
Infection:
Infections at the surgical site are possible but can be minimized with proper post-operative care.
Perforation:
Rarely, a hole (perforation) may occur in the nasal septum, but it can usually be repaired with additional surgery if needed.
Scarring:
Septoplasty is designed to minimize external scarring, but occasionally, internal scarring can cause breathing issues.
Alternate Procedures Available
Rhinoplasty:
Aesthetic nasal surgery that can correct nasal deformities and improve breathing.
Turbinate Reduction:
Surgery to reduce the size of nasal turbinates, which can contribute to nasal congestion. The nasal turbinates are small structures located inside the nose. Their role is to cleanse and humidify the air passing through the nostrils into the lungs.
