Septoplasty Surgery: Repairing a Deviated Septum

Septoplasty surgery straightens the nasal septum, the wall dividing the two sides of your nose. When the septum is deviated, it can block airflow and make everyday breathing uncomfortable. A bent or crooked septum often causes sinusitis, reduced oxygen intake, chronic headaches, sleep disturbance, shortness of breath, and similar problems. For this reason, septoplasty is not a cosmetic procedure. It is, first and foremost, a functional operation that restores healthy breathing.

Septoplasty does not change the outward shape of your nose. However, when a patient also wants to improve the nose's appearance, surgeons often combine it with cosmetic rhinoplasty. The final cost of the procedure varies depending on these details.

Causes of a Deviated Septum

Causes of a deviated septum

The septum is the bony and cartilaginous structure inside your nose. It is covered by a mucous membrane and divides the nasal cavity into two passages. A shift or bend in the septum can develop for several reasons:

• a congenital feature;
• injuries and trauma;
• growths, polyps, foreign bodies inside the nasal cavity, and similar issues.

Although almost everyone has some degree of septal deformity, septoplasty is not required in every case. An accurate diagnosis can only be made after the sinuses are studied and an internal examination is performed. Surgery is scheduled when there are no contraindications.

Preparing for Septoplasty Surgery

Preparing for surgery

To reduce the risk of complications during and after the operation, you should tell your surgeon about every medication you take. Make a complete list at the first consultation. A few weeks before surgery, you may need to stop some of them, such as blood thinners. In some cases, special medication is prescribed to lower the fragility of your blood vessels.

Pre-Operative Tests for Septoplasty

Pre-operative tests required before septoplasty

• ECG;
• ENT consultation;
• general clinical urine and blood analysis;
• biochemical blood analysis;
• CT scan of the paranasal sinuses;
• Rh factor and blood group;
• coagulogram;
• blood tests for hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis;
• fluorography.

Recovery After Septoplasty Surgery

Recovery (rehabilitation) period

During the healing period after septoplasty surgery, the nasal passages feel blocked. Tampons lower the risk of bleeding after the operation and help keep the septum in the correct position. Once they are removed, you should follow the recommendations below.

• Limit physical activity as much as possible.
• Avoid hot drinks.
• Stop smoking.
• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and hot baths for several weeks.
