Straightening of the Nasal Septum

Surgical repair of scoliosis of the diaphragm, also known as a straightness or septoplasty, is an operation performed under general anaesthesia and takes about an hour. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision in the nasal mucosa and detaches the cartilage and bone of the septum from the tissues, removing the scrotal part of the septum. Pieces of cartilage that have been sutured, if necessary, are then repositioned in the area of the septum.

During the septoplasty procedure, the nasal niches are checked, and in case of hypertrophy, an intervention can be performed to reduce their size by cautery or conchioplasty. This intervention helps to achieve maximum improvement of the respiratory system.

All surgical procedures are performed inside the nose, so there are no external incisions, stitches or scars. After surgery, the patient may have nasal plugs, which are removed by the surgeon the next day. Minor bleeding and mild swelling are normal and may be seen. After the surgery, the patient is instructed on antibiotic treatment and painkillers and is advised to avoid vigorous physical activity for a few days.
