How is the Treatment of Deviated Septum Performed?

​

The correction of a deviated septum is a surgical procedure that can be performed to address deviations in the bone and cartilage structures along the midline of the nose. The surgery is conducted internally without opening the front part of the nose. In the same session, the lower nasal conchae are also reduced using radiofrequency waves. This procedure is known as septoplasty. Septoplasty is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes around 30 minutes. After the operation, silicone nasal packing is inserted for breathing, and the procedure is concluded with self-dissolving stitches. Patients are discharged on the same day. Unlike previous years, the long strip-shaped cloth tampons and hard tampons placed inside the nose are no longer used, making septoplasty procedures less challenging and painful.
