The wall separating the nasal cavity into two is called the "septum". A deviation of the septum to one side blocks the airway on that side.
Symptoms
- Unilateral or alternating nasal congestion
- Sleeping with mouth open, snoring
- Frequent recurrent sinusitis and pharyngitis
- Waking up tired and with dry mouth in the mornings
Surgery Process
Septoplasty surgery is performed using a closed method through the nostrils. Crooked bone and cartilage parts are corrected. There is no external shape change, bruising, or swelling.
