Septoplasty

What is Septoplasty?

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct the septum, the cartilage and bone structure that separates the two nostrils. Septal deviation, or a crooked septum, can cause problems such as difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, snoring, and sleep apnea. Septoplasty corrects the septum, alleviating these issues and improving nasal function.

How is Septoplasty Performed?

Septoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the surgery, an incision is made inside the nose, and the septal deviation is corrected. The cartilage and bone structure are reshaped, and supportive grafts are used if necessary. At the end of the procedure, a nasal tampon is placed inside the nose, and an external splint may be applied.

At A Life Health Group, septoplasty surgeries are performed by expert ENT surgeons using state-of-the-art equipment. Patient comfort and safety are our priority.

Septoplasty Postoperative Recovery

The recovery period after septoplasty is generally quick and comfortable. After the surgery, there may be nasal congestion and mild pain for a few days. These symptoms can be managed with painkillers and nasal sprays. Tampons are usually removed within 1-2 days. It is recommended to avoid heavy physical activities during the first week after surgery.

A Life Health Group provides a special follow-up program for septoplasty patients, closely monitoring the recovery process and offering all necessary support.

Septoplasty Prices

Septoplasty prices may vary depending on the hospital where the surgery is performed, the surgeon's experience, the techniques used, and the patient's insurance status.

Septoplasty Risks

Septoplasty is generally a safe surgery, but like any surgical procedure, it may carry some risks. These risks include bleeding, infection, septum perforation (a hole in the septum), changes in the sense of smell, changes in nasal shape, and anesthesia-related complications.

At A Life Health Group, septoplasty surgeries are performed by experienced anesthesia specialists in modern operating room conditions, minimizing these risks.

Septoplasty can be performed on individuals experiencing breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, snoring, sleep apnea, or sinusitis due to septum deviation. However, a thorough examination and evaluation are required before the surgery.

At A Life Health Group, our ENT specialists will conduct a detailed examination to determine whether septoplasty is suitable for you and will create a personalized treatment plan.
