correct the curvature (deviation) of the nasal septum and relieve nasal congestion.<br \/>\nThe nasal septum is a structure consisting of bone and cartilage that divides the nasal cavity into two and separates the nostrils from each other.<br \/>\nCurvature of the nasal septum due to congenital causes or trauma can cause nasal congestion, breathing difficulties and thus a decrease in quality of life.<br \/>\nSeptoplasty surgery is the most effective treatment method to correct septum curvature.   <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Causes of Septum Deviation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The curvature of the nasal septum may be congenital or may develop later due to trauma.<br \/>\nThe main causes of deviated septum are as follows: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Congenital Anomalies:<\/strong> In some people, the nasal septum may be congenitally curved.<br \/>\nThis occurs during the development of the nasal structures in the womb. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Trauma and Injuries:<\/strong> The nasal septum may curve as a result of blows to the face and nose, accidents or sports injuries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Genetic Factors:<\/strong> People with a family history of nasal curvature are more likely to have deviated septum.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-Accident Disorders:<\/strong> Damage to the nasal bone and cartilage structure, especially after accidents in childhood, can lead to deviated septum.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms of Septum Deviation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Deviated septum manifests itself with various symptoms, especially nasal congestion.<br \/>\nThese symptoms include the following: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nasal Congestion<\/strong> A curved septum narrows the nasal cavity, blocking airflow and causing nasal congestion.<br \/>\nThis condition can be unilateral or bilateral. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Breathing Difficulty:<\/strong> Due to nasal congestion, patients may have difficulty breathing and often develop the habit of breathing through the mouth.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sleep Problems:<\/strong> Nasal obstruction can lead to breathing problems and snoring during sleep.<br \/>\nAlso, a deviated septum can increase the risk of sleep apnea. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Headache<\/strong> Mucus that accumulates in the sinuses due to nasal congestion can cause headaches and sinus pressure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nosebleeds<\/strong> Curvature of the septum can cause the nasal mucosa to become dry and irritated, leading to frequent nosebleeds.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sinusitis<\/strong> Due to impaired airflow, the normal drainage of the sinuses is blocked, which increases the risk of developing sinusitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Suitable Candidates for Septoplasty Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Septoplasty surgery is suitable for people who experience nasal congestion due to the curvature of the nasal septum, which negatively affects their daily life.<br \/>\nSuitable candidates for this surgery: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>People with symptoms such as nasal congestion, breathing difficulties and snoring.<\/li>\n<li>Patients who do not benefit from other treatment methods (medication, nasal sprays).<\/li>\n<li>Cases where the curvature of the nose is serious and affects the quality of life.<\/li>\n<li>People in good general health and able to tolerate surgical intervention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Preparation Before Septoplasty Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Before septoplasty surgery, the patient&#8217;s nasal structure and the extent of the curvature are evaluated in detail.<br \/>\nPoints to be considered during the preparation phase: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Doctor Examination:<\/strong> The doctor examines the inside of the nose endoscopically and determines the degree of septum deviation.<br \/>\nIn addition, information is obtained about the patient&#8217;s medical history, previous nasal surgeries and allergic conditions. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Imaging:<\/strong> If necessary, nasal and sinus structures are examined with computed tomography (CT).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medication Use:<\/strong> The use of blood thinners and herbal supplements should be stopped before surgery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smoking and Alcohol:<\/strong> Smoking and alcohol can negatively affect postoperative recovery.<br \/>\nTherefore, it is recommended to stop smoking and drinking alcohol before the procedure. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>How is Septoplasty Surgery Performed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Septoplasty surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia and takes about 30-90 minutes.<br \/>\nThe main stages of the surgery are as follows: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Opening the Incision:<\/strong> A small incision is made through the nose on one side of the septum.<br \/>\nSince this incision will not be visible from outside the nose, there will be no surgical scar. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Reshaping the Septum:<\/strong> The septum is reached by carefully lifting the nasal mucosa (outer membrane).<br \/>\nThe curved bone and cartilage parts are corrected with the help of surgical instruments.<br \/>\nIf necessary, excess cartilage or bone tissue is removed.  <\/li>\n<li><strong>Tissue Corrections:<\/strong> Both sides of the septum are reshaped and fixed to the midline.<br \/>\nThis ensures normal and symmetrical airflow. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Incision Closure:<\/strong> The incision site is closed with self-melting sutures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Placement of Tampons and Splints:<\/strong> After the surgery, silicone tampons or splints are placed in the nose to stabilize the structures in the nose and support the healing process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Recovery Process After Septoplasty<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Recovery after septoplasty is usually quick and comfortable.<br \/>\nPoints to be aware of: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Removal of Tampons:<\/strong> The silicone tampons or splints placed after surgery are usually removed by the doctor within 1 week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swelling and Bruising:<\/strong> There may be mild swelling and a feeling of congestion in the nose after surgery.<br \/>\nThis condition decreases within a few weeks. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Head Position:<\/strong> Keeping the head upright during the healing process helps to reduce intranasal swelling.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nose Cleaning:<\/strong> Regular cleaning of the inside of the nose with the nasal wash solutions recommended by the doctor accelerates the healing process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoiding Heavy Activities:<\/strong> During the first 2-3 weeks after surgery, heavy exercises and blows to the nasal area should be avoided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Advantages of Septoplasty Surgery<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Septoplasty surgery improves the patient&#8217;s quality of life by relieving nasal congestion.<br \/>\nAdvantages of the procedure: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Elimination of Breathing Difficulty:<\/strong> By correcting the curvature of the septum, the air flow in the nose is improved and the breathing problem is eliminated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducing Snoring:<\/strong> By removing nasal congestion, snoring problems are reduced as a result of relaxed breathing during sleep.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved Sleep Quality:<\/strong> Correction of nasal breathing provides a better quality and uninterrupted sleep.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduction of Sinusitis and Headache Problems:<\/strong> By ensuring proper drainage of the sinuses, the frequency and severity of problems such as sinusitis and headaches are reduced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Risks and Side Effects<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Septoplasty surgery is generally a safe procedure, but it can have some risks and side effects:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Infection<\/strong> There is a risk of infection after surgery.<br \/>\nFollowing the postoperative care instructions minimizes this risk. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Bleeding<\/strong> There may be slight bleeding in the nose during and after surgery.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Perforation of the septum<\/strong> In rare cases, a small hole may form in the septum.<br \/>\nThis usually heals spontaneously or is corrected surgically.
