Septoplasty

Septum deviation is the shift of the cartilage and bone in the middle of the nose from the midline to the right or left. It is seen extremely often; however, mostly ıt is not so severe as to destroy nasal functions. Blows to the nose play an important role in the occurrence of this illness. Symptoms such as intense nasal congestion, nasal dryness and crusting, olfactory disorders, pain and nosebleeds are observed in patients. In most patients, the lower turbinate, also called nasal concha, increases congestion by swelling. Mostly, the excess cartilage removed from a small area in the nose, which causes congestion, is removed and the nasal meats are definitely intervened in the same surgery. 3 days later, the silicone pads in the nose are removed and the patients can breathe easily and return to their daily lives.
