Septoplasty
Septoplasty at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we offer septoplasty, a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum. The nasal septum is the bone and cartilage wall that divides the nasal cavity into two nostrils. When this septum is deviated, it can cause breathing difficulties, chronic sinus problems, nasal congestion, and other complications. Our experienced ENT specialists use advanced techniques to ensure effective results and improve nasal function.
Understanding Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at straightening the deviated septum to improve airflow through the nose. A deviated septum can be congenital (present at birth) or result from injury. This condition can lead to obstruction of one or both nasal passages, causing difficulty in breathing and recurrent sinus infections.
Indications for Septoplasty
- Breathing Difficulties: Obstruction of one or both nasal passages causing difficulty in breathing.
- Chronic Nasal Congestion: Persistent nasal congestion not relieved by medication.
- Recurrent Sinus Infections: Frequent sinus infections due to blocked sinus drainage.
- Nosebleeds: Frequent nosebleeds caused by the abnormal airflow and drying of the nasal passages.
- Facial Pain or Headaches: Pain resulting from sinus pressure due to poor drainage.
- Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea symptoms exacerbated by a deviated septum.
