septoplasty

An operation to the nasal septum is known as a septoplasty.

Septoplasty should not be done in acute nasal or sinus infection.

In such cases septoplasty may be performed to improve the look as well as the function of the nose.

Most times, altering the outside appearance of the nose is not a necessary part of a septoplasty.

Blandin is remembered today for his pioneer work in rhinoplasty and septoplasty.

A surgery called septoplasty is the best way to remedy a severely deviated septum.

"Septoplasty means it's a functional operation, you're straightening the septum.

Septoplasty and turbinate surgery may improve the nasal airway.

Septoplasty is a relatively routine procedure.

Septoplasty is an operation on the septum, performed to straighten this wall when a significant deviation is present.

A cure to symptoms related to septal deviations is available in the form of a minor surgical procedure known as a septoplasty.

Treatment options may include one of the following techniques: myomectomy, polypectomy, adhesiolysis, metroplasty and septoplasty.

Patients had to wait the longest for nasal septoplasty, in which cartilage is removed from the nose to improve breathing, and total knee replacements.

Septoplasty is sometimes done with rhinoplasty for cosmetic correction of the deformities of the external nasal framework.

If functional nasal surgery in the form of septoplasty has been undertaken then usually the patient should feel an improved airway once swelling has reduced.

If a patient also has problems related to nasal function with a blocked nasal passage, then septoplasty may also be undertaken at the same time.

Unless there are unusual complications, there is no swelling or discoloration to the external nose or face with septoplasty alone.

In view of the extensiveness of the deviation of his septum, a septoplasty is being planned as a preliminary procedure.

Surgery (e.g. septoplasty and functional endoscopic sinus surgery)

Nasal septal reconstruction, or septoplasty, is required where the central cartilage wall dividing the nostrils is twisted or buckled.

Corrective surgery (septoplasty) will maximise the airflow and correct the feedback loop to the brain which keeps awakening the sufferer so as not to asphyxiate.

The nasal trigger points where enlarged turbinates are in contact with the nasal septum are addressed with a septoplasty and a turbinectomy.

Septectomy, submucous resection, including septoplasty, with correction of nasal deformity ........

Fern was transferred to the Royal Adelaide Hospital on 1 September 1997 and underwent an operation known as a septoplasty on 2 September 1997.

Apart from in patients with deviated nasal septum causing airway obstruction leading to difficult breathing, recurrent rhinitis, or sinusitis, septoplasty is done as an approach to hypophysectomy.
