Treatment of deviated nasal septum
Treatment of deformed nasal septum is only surgical. It includes a huge number of options and types of operations, depending on the type of curvature.
In our clinic “K+31” a separate ENT operating room has been created, which has the most modern equipment to solve the most complex otorhinolaryngological problems. Modern endoscopic equipment makes it possible to diagnose pathology and carry out medical procedures as gently as possible for the patient.
Today, there are several types of operations on the nasal septum, but professional otolaryngologists single out endoscopic septoplasty as the most optimal.
This operation, if there is an indication for septoplasty, is performed endonasally (through the mucous membranes), without visible scars. Its essence comes down to the removal of small curved fragments of osteochondral tissue, which, after modeling, are installed back. Thus, after the operation, the supporting function of the septum does not change, the surrounding tissues are minimally injured, the risk of developing perforation of the nasal septum is reduced, and the possibility of repeated operations for repeated injuries remains, which is especially important for athletes and people leading an active lifestyle.
The use of modern suture materials for septoplasty and septal stenting allows us to minimize the formation of postoperative hematomas, the development of synechiae and inflammatory complications.
Plastic surgeons in our center use “breathable” tampons, which, unlike conventional tampons, allows the patient to spend the night after surgery comfortably, recover faster after surgery, get rid of discomfort and reduce hospital stay to a day.
If necessary and desired by the patient, the plastic surgeon can correct the shape of the nose, that is, perform functional rhinoseptoplasty. Septoplasty and rhinoplasty are often performed simultaneously.
Why do septoplasty?
Nasal breathing is something we don’t notice when everything is fine. However, even a small difficulty leads to to a decrease in quality of life, performance, and mood. In addition, it leads to the development of a pathological process such as in the paranasal sinuses, and subsequently in other organs and systems, primarily in the bronchopulmonary.
Septoplasty – this is the most effective method of correcting an anatomical defect, facilitating breathing, reducing the number of diseases of the ENT organs, preventing hypoxia, preventing hearing and smell loss and other conditions caused by a deviated septum.
For minor cartilage deformations, laser nose surgery can be performed. In more complex cases, especially when removal of fragments of bone and cartilage tissue is required, endoscopic septoplasty is used.
Plastic surgeons in our clinic have extensive experience in performing septoplasty. Surgical correction of the nasal septum is carried out using modern equipment, and effective rehabilitation methods are used. In our clinic, all operations are performed safely and painlessly for the patient.
