Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated nasal septum (DNS) — a condition where the wall between the two nostrils is displaced to one side, leading to breathing difficulty and recurrent nasal problems.
The surgery helps restore normal airflow through the nose and improves overall nasal function.
What Is a Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)?
The nasal septum is the cartilage and bone that divides the nose into two passages. When it is bent or deviated, it can cause:
-
Nasal blockage on one or both sides
-
Difficulty in breathing through the nose
-
Recurrent sinus infections
-
Headaches or facial pain
-
Snoring and sleep disturbance
-
Frequent nosebleeds
When Is Septoplasty Recommended?
-
Persistent nasal obstruction
-
Chronic sinusitis due to blocked drainage

Recurrent nasal infections

Mouth breathing
