Septoplasty: Correcting a Deviated Septum

Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum, where the nasal septum is misaligned or crooked. Common symptoms include difficulty breathing, nasal congestion, sinus infections, and snoring. Otolaryngologists, or ENT doctors, are trained to diagnose and treat deviated septum cases. Septoplasty offers improved nasal airflow, symptom relief, and enhanced quality of life. The procedure involves reshaping the septum through surgery, and most patients can resume regular activities within a week or two. If you suspect a deviated septum, consulting an ENT specialist is crucial for proper evaluation and treatment.
