Deviated Septum Nose Surgery

Deviated Septum Nose Surgery : There are several structures in the nose; first of all, the bone that is located in the upper part of the nose, the two paired cartilages are located at the top and bottom of the nose which are simply called the upper and lower cartilages. There is also a large cartilage in the midline called the septum or middle nasal septum.

In fact, it can be said that the patient has a Deviated Septum Nose whose middle nasal septum or nasal septum is deviated to one side and the deviation is so severe that the patient has clinical symptoms and respiratory problems.

In fact, deviation of the nasal cartilage that can cause nasal and respiratory problems is called deviated septum nose.

Reasons of Deviated Septum Nose:

The deviation can happen at the time of childbirth, because the fetus in the mother’s womb will cause deviated cartilage due to the constriction of the uterus and the pressure that enters to the fetus.

Sometimes the nasal septum deviation happens after childbirth and in the process of nasal growth that takes many years for growing nose and develop into a full-blown nose, around the age of 16 to 17 years.

During the growth process, the nose sometimes grows with deviation. In addition, hits to the nose and the hits during the childhood are very important, and nose fractures in childhood should be taken very seriously as they cause deviation of the middle blade.

Diagnosis of Deviated Septum Nose:

The diagnosis of nasal abnormalities is primarily through a clinical examination and after a paraclinical procedure such as a CT scan or nasal and sinus endoscopy enters the nasal abnormality treatment phase.

Deviated Septum Nose treatment is merely through surgery and there is no medical cure, but whether or not the patient should undergo nasal surgery depends on the patient’s clinical symptoms and to what extent these symptoms make problems for the patient.

For this reason, having an abnormality in an X-ray or CT scan is not a reason for Deviated Septum Nose surgery and patients should be reminded that mere surgery may not eliminate symptoms such as snoring because this problem can have other causes and Deviated Septum Nose is just one of the reasons that exacerbate the problem.

For this reason, prior to Nasal diversion surgery , careful examination should be performed to ensure that the patient’s clinical symptoms improve after surgery.
