Treatment of perforation of the nasal septum

Perforation of the nasal septum develops:

  • Due to surgery on the septum of the nose.
  • As a result of injury.
  • Due to the uncontrolled use of vasoconstrictor drops.
  • After using drugs.
  • Due to the wrong toilet of the nasal cavity.
  • Due to the development of certain autoimmune diseases (Wegener's granulomatosis).

Patients are worried about noisy breathing, dryness in the nasal cavity, crusting in the nasal cavity, bleeding, changes in the shape of the external nose, "lack" of air when breathing through the nose.

Diagnostics

By itself, the detection of perforation does not cause any problems, the main thing is to determine the cause of its development. For this, in addition to a thorough collection of anamnesis, an examination is carried out to exclude systemic diseases and other possible "culprits" of the formation of perforation.

Operation

In our clinic, operations are successfully performed to close such defects, including large ones (more than 4 cm). These technically demanding interventions are performed under the guidance of an endoscope. Accuracy of actions is ensured by visual control using an endoscope - the surgeon sees everything that happens on the monitor screen.

During the operation, the surgeon dissects the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity to form free flaps and suture the defect.

With a lack of cartilage in the nasal septum, autocartilage is used (most often the cartilage of the auricle). At the end of the operation, patients are fitted with thin silicone plates, which promote faster healing. In case of perforation formation, you should not postpone the visit to the doctor, since, as it grows, the chances of complete closure of the defect decrease.

Prevention of nasal septum perforation

  • Compliance with hygiene, including occupational hygiene.
  • Air humidification.
  • Correct toilet of the nasal cavity.
  • Refusal of vasoconstrictor drops.
  • Proper care of the nasal cavity after surgery.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment of systemic and infectious diseases.
  • Healthy lifestyle.
