What is septoplasty surgery?
In a septoplasty surgery, the nasal septum is straightened by trimming, repositioning and replacing cartilage or bone (sometimes both). The procedure is done with either local or general anesthesia. It is commonly performed in adolescents and adults.
Septoplasty is a minor and low-risk procedure. Recovery generally takes a few days and requires an average of a week of rest. Complete recuperation will continue for several months to one year.
Apart from the case of a deviated nasal septum, an ENT specialist may recommend septoplasty to:
- Remove nasal polyps
- Cure chronic sinusitis
- Prevent recurrent nosebleeds
- Treat other conditions that result in a nasal blockage
