Septoplasty is a surgery performed to fix or straighten a crooked or deviated nasal septum. In the nose, the cartilage and bone that separate the nostrils are called the nasal septum. If the septum is severely deviated or crooked, it can obstruct airflow, leading to difficulty breathing and recurrent nasal issues. Septoplasty surgery is performed to reduce sinus infections and alleviate nasal blockage, to improve overall quality of life.

What is Septoplasty Surgery?
Septoplasty surgery fixes a crooked or deviated septum, causing airflow issues in your nose, which further leads to problems with breathing. During septoplasty, the surgeon lifts the soft lining (mucosa) from the cartilage and bone of the septum. The bent portions are then removed or straightened, and the lining is placed back over the corrected septum. The procedure generally takes about 45 minutes, and general anaesthesia or sometimes local anaesthesia is used. Initial recovery from septoplasty surgery usually takes a week or two, but full recovery may take several months.
Procedure of Septoplasty Surgery

Step 1: Preparation and Anaesthesia
The patient is given general or local anaesthesia so that they are comfortable during the procedure.
Step 2: Accessing the Nasal Septum
A small incision is made in the nostril to access the nasal septum that will not leave visible scars after the incision is made.
Step 3: Elevating the Mucosal Lining
The soft-tissue lining (mucosa) is elevated gently to expose the cartilage and bone underneath.
Step 4: Removing or Reshaping Deviated Structures
The surgeon removes or reshapes portions of the cartilage and bone that are crooked to eliminate the obstruction.
Step 5: Positioning the Septum
The septum is now positioned into a straighter, central position, which improves airflow.
Step 6: Repositioning the Mucosal Lining
The mucosal lining is placed over the nasal septum to promote optimal healing and shield the internal structures.
Step 7: Placing Internal Nasal Packing
Splints or nasal packing are used to support healing and manage bleeding. Some packing materials dissolve on their own, while others need to be removed later during a follow-up visit.
Step 8: Recovering from the Procedure
The patient will remain under supervision until they fully recover. Most patients go home the same day unless packing removal is necessary for overnight observation.
Step 9: Post-operative Instructions
The discharge instructions include care of the nose, medications, and follow-up appointments to provide for a smooth recovery.
