      What is a septoplasty?

      The surgical repair of defects and abnormalities in the nasal septum—the space between the nostrils—is known as septoplasty. One nasal cavity from another is divided by a structure called the septum, which is composed of bone and cartilage in the middle of the nose. In addition, a surgeon will perform a septoplasty surgery to cure nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, and other conditions that obstruct the nasal airway. When the septum bends too much in one direction to straighten, it is called a deviated septum. Deviated septums can obstruct one side of the nose and can seriously impair breathing.

      When there is a need for septoplasty?

      The primary goal of a septoplasty operation is to straighten up a deviated septum that is obstructing the nose and impairing breathing. Sometimes septoplasty is usually required in the following cases:

      • Obstructive sleep apnea: A deviated nasal septum can result in experiencing a sensation of gasping or choking during sleep which is known as obstructive sleep apnea. This condition can cause chronic sleep deprivation, restlessness, and an overall disturbance in a person's life due to the persistent lack of rest.
      • Chronic headaches: A deviated nasal septum can cause significant facial pain and headaches because the muscles surrounding the nose are constantly strained, due to which breathing becomes difficult for the patient.
      • Chronic/Recurring nasal disorders: A deviated nasal septum is frequently associated with postnasal drip and sinus infections. While rhinitis and sinusitis are frequently misdiagnosed as allergies, they are actually common consequences of septal deviation that cause disruptions in the patient's life.
      • Severe nosebleeds (epistaxis): While most nosebleeds are considered as minor problems, severe and recurrent nosebleeds, called epistaxis, which are brought on by tension headaches and nasal drips, can occasionally even be fatal.
      • Respiratory issues: Breathing problems resulting from decreased lung airflow are the most prevalent and dangerous health problem associated with nasal septum deviation.

      Treatment options and utilities of treatment options at TaCa

      To initiate the septoplasty, the surgeon will create various types of incisions at the surgical site. Some of the Septoplasty Incisions options are mentioned below:

      • Endoscopic septoplasty: The deviated portion of the nasal septum can be removed under endoscopic guidance during this minimally invasive surgery.
      • Transfixion or Hemitransfixion incision: This is the ideal option for individuals whose caudal septum is deviated in addition to the more common parts, like posterior deflections. The incision is done at the caudal border of the septum. Since it gives the surgeon the finest access to the nose and the septal structure, the hematransfixion is really the most frequently performed septoplasty incision.
      • Killian incision: Another kind of incision used in septoplasty is the Killian incision, which offers less access to the septal anatomy for the surgeon. The Killian incision is the most suitable option for those with a septal deviation in the middle or posterior third of the nasal structure.
      • Cottle elevator incision: Using a specialized tool is necessary to achieve the best outcome for the patient while performing this procedure. The tool has two sides, one is a dull, flat edge that is used to elevate the nose without damaging the rest of the fragile nasal structure and another side consists a sharp spade that is used to create the actual incision.

      Treatment options at TaCa

      TaCa is offering treatment as per the need and condition of the patient. TaCa is having the team of best septoplasty surgeons, when septoplasty surgical procedure becomes necessary, the doctor might explore the following options:

      • Endoscopic septoplasty: The deviated portion of the nasal septum can be removed under endoscopic guidance during this minimally invasive surgery.
      • Transfixion or Hematransfixion incision: This is the ideal option for individuals whose caudual septum is deviated in addition to the more common parts, like posterior deflections. The incision is done at the caudual border of the septum. Since it gives the surgeon the finest access to the nose and the septal structure, the hematransfixion is really the most frequently performed septoplasty incision.
      • Killian incision: Another kind of incision used in septoplasty is the Killian incision, which offers less access to the septal anatomy for the surgeon. The Killian incision is the most suitable option for those with a septal deviation in the middle or posterior third of the nasal structure.

        Septoplasty Surgery

        After a septoplasty, individuals usually experience mild to moderate discomfort. Some compare the feeling to a sinus infection, describing it as a mix of pain and pressure felt around the eyes, forehead, cheeks, and upper teeth.

        No. Septoplasty doesn’t change the shape of nose.

        The average duration of a septoplasty procedure is 30–90 minutes, depending on the severity.

        TaCa is having a team of skilled or good surgeons, that are important because they know the significance of determining when surgery is necessary and when it’s not. They recognize that the decision-making process holds more significance than the surgical procedure itself. Ultimately, the aim of any surgery is to serve the patient’s well-being.

        Complications associated with septoplasty are rare. But there are some possible risks associated with it. Some of them are mentioned below:

        • Excessive bleeding
        • Infection
        • Scarring
        • Perforation (hole) in septum
        • Temporary numbness of nose and teeth
        • Toxic shock syndrome
        • Spinal fluid leak

        Several factors are there which are responsible for the cost of septoplasty procedure:

        • Type of surgery performed
        • Hospital’s type and location
        • Anesthesiologist fee
        • Medication cost
        • Cost of diagnostic tests

        Recovery from initial septoplasty often takes a week or less. However, the bone and cartilage will continue to repair over the course of several months to a year.

        Following a primary septoplasty, iatrogenic abnormalities ignored during surgery and diseases disregarded during the initial procedure may produce permanent or recurring nasal blockage.
