What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the shape of the septum of the nose. The goal of
septoplasty procedure is to correct defects or deformities of the septum. The nasal septum is the separation between the two nostrils. In adults, the septum is composed partly of cartilage and partly of bone. Septal deviations are either congenital (present from birth) or develop as a result of an injury. Most people with deviated septa do not develop symptoms. It is typically only the most severely deformed septa that produce significant symptoms and require surgical intervention. However, many
septoplasties are performed during rhinoplasty
procedures, which are most often performed for cosmetic purposes.
Indications for Septoplasty Surgery
The primary conditions that may suggest a need for
septoplasty include:
- nasal air passage obstruction
- nasal septal deformity
- headaches caused by septal spurs
- chronic and uncontrolled nosebleeds
- chronic sinusitis associated with a deviated septum
- obstructive sleep apnea
- polypectomy (polyp removal)
- tumor excision
- turbinate surgery
- ethmoidectomy (removal of all or part of a small bone on the upper part of the nasal cavity)
Septoplasty Surgery Procedure:
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure that is used to re-correct crooked or deviated nasal septum (the parting wall between the noses right and the left chambers). It is sometimes referred to as septal reconstruction. During surgery, the surgeon enters through the patients nostrils and removes the obtruding matter. The surgery usually takes a short time and patients normally fully recover within one to three weeks. The main purpose of
Septoplasty is to improve patients breathing patterns. There is no medicine that can straighten deviated septum. Currently, the only solution to treat this problem is
septoplasty surgery which in some cases is combined with sinus surgery and/or rhinoplasty surgery.
Septoplasty is performed under general or local anesthesia, based on the doctors preferences and evaluation of the patients situation.
What is Included in Septoplasty Surgery Recovery?
Thankfully, the surgery does not require you to stay in the hospital for long, post
septoplasty surgery. You can generally get a discharge the same day or the next morning. Normally, the dressings which might be inside the nose are removed prior to the patient's discharge. There are a few precautions and things you need to take care of, which will be told to you by the doctor. Still here are a few things you can do for starters.
- You should elevate your head when you are resting in the first couple of days.
- Avoid blowing your nose for a few days after surgery. Similarly, do not hold your breath and tighten the muscles while bending for bowel movements.
- If possible, take all the precautions not to catch cold for a few weeks post septoplasty surgery.
- In case you experience something uncommon like excessive bleeding or other nasal problems, immediately go to the doctor.
- If you blow your nose, try and blow it lightly. You might get stains on your handkerchief, but that's normal.
- In a few cases, you might be given narcotic pain relievers if the pain is severe.
- Ice packs too will contribute to providing pain relief, overall comfort and septoplasty recovery.
Risks of Septoplasty Surgery
The risks from
septoplasty are similar to those from other operations on the face: postoperative pain with some bleeding, swelling, bruising, or discoloration. A few patients may have allergic reactions to the anesthetics. The operation in itself, however, is relatively low-risk in that it does not involve major blood vessels or vital organs. Infection is unlikely if proper surgical technique is observed. One of the extremely rare but serious complications of septoplasty is cerebrospinal fluid leak. This complication can be treated with proper nasal packing, bed rest, and antibiotic use. Follow-up surgery may be necessary if the nasal obstruction relapses.
