Septoplasty Treatment in KPHB
What is Septoplasty?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure used to correct a deviated nasal septum (DNS), the wall of cartilage and bone that divides the two nasal passages. When the septum is significantly displaced, it can restrict airflow, making it difficult to breathe through the nose and increasing the risk of chronic nasal congestion, recurrent sinus infections, snoring, and sleep disturbances.
While many people have a mildly deviated septum without symptoms, septoplasty is generally recommended only when the deviation causes persistent breathing difficulties or other problems that do not improve with medical treatment.
When Should You See an ENT Specialist?
You should consult an ENT specialist if you experience:
* Difficulty breathing through the nose
* Frequent sinus infections
* Loud snoring or disturbed sleep
* Recurrent nosebleeds
* Facial pressure or headaches caused by nasal obstruction
* Poor improvement despite using nasal sprays or medications
* Nasal blockage following an injury
An ENT evaluation helps determine whether your symptoms are caused by a deviated nasal septum or another nasal condition requiring treatment.
How is Septoplasty Planned?
Every patient has a unique nasal structure, so treatment is tailored to individual needs.
During your consultation, our ENT specialist will:
* Review your medical history and symptoms
* Perform a detailed nasal examination
* Assess the severity of the septal deviation
* Evaluate airflow through the nasal passages
* Check for associated conditions such as sinusitis, allergies, nasal polyps, or enlarged turbinates
* Discuss the most appropriate treatment plan and expected outcome
When required, **diagnostic nasal endoscopy** or a **CT scan of the sinuses** may be recommended to obtain a clearer understanding of the nasal anatomy before surgery.
How is Septoplasty Performed?
Septoplasty is usually performed as a **day-care procedure** under local or general anaesthesia.
During the procedure, the ENT surgeon makes a small incision inside the nose to access the deviated nasal septum and carefully reposition or reshape it to improve airflow. The deviated cartilage and bone are carefully repositioned, reshaped, or removed to improve airflow while preserving the normal structure of the nose.
Since the procedure is performed through the nostrils, there are typically **no visible external scars**, and the surgery is intended to improve breathing without significantly changing the appearance of the nose.
Recovery After Septoplasty
MAs septoplasty is usually performed as a day-care procedure, most patients are able to return home on the same day after surgery.Mild nasal congestion, swelling, and slight discomfort are common during the first few days and usually improve with prescribed medications.
Many patients can return to routine activities within one week, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided until advised by the surgeon. Regular follow-up appointments help ensure proper healing and optimal improvement in nasal breathing.
