Nose Surgery

Septoplasty, turbinoplasty, sinus surgery, and polypectomy are all types of nose surgery. These techniques are frequently used to alleviate nose breathing difficulties. Mouth breathing, sleep apnea, snoring, recurring sinus infections, or frequent nosebleeds can all be brought on by a blocked nasal airway. A deviated septum can produce an obstruction inside the nose, which can be fixed surgically with a septoplasty. Incisions are made inside the nose to accomplish this. The septum's cartilage and occasionally its bone is then cut, altered, relocated, or removed. Surgery to treat turbinates removes an obstruction brought on by enlarged turbinates. In the context of surgery, larger turbinates may have a bone or mucous membrane removed. More breathing space is the aim of these operations. Recurrent sinus infections require surgery because the sinuses get plugged and the mucus cannot flow. Colds and other infections, allergies, polyps, and a deviated nasal septum can all cause the sinuses to become blocked. Before surgery, a complete evaluation will be carried out, including medical history, physical examination, endoscopic examination, and CT scan.
