Yes, septoplasty can be done on patients with diabetes.
Having diabetes doesn’t make the surgery unsafe, but it does require extra care and preparation. The main concern in diabetic patients is that high blood sugar levels can delay wound healing and increase the risk of infection. So, before proceeding, it’s important that your husband’s diabetes is well controlled.
– Make sure his blood sugar levels (especially HbA1c) are within the recommended range before surgery.
– Ask about preoperative clearance from his physician or endocrinologist.
– Post-surgery, monitor his sugar levels closely and follow the prescribed antibiotics and medications carefully.
– If his nasal blockage is severe and affecting breathing or sleep, septoplasty can significantly improve his quality of life.
