For those facing breathing issues due to a misaligned septum, Pristyn Care in Mattancheri offers advanced septoplasty procedures. These surgeries help you breathe easier by correcting the position of the septum inside your nose.
Traditional Septoplasty
Traditional septoplasty involves making a small cut inside the nose to either remove or adjust the parts of the cartilage and bone causing blockage. This procedure aims to increase airflow through your nasal passages, making breathing more comfortable.Â
The surgeon carefully accesses the deviated parts, ensuring they are moved or reshaped to allow smoother air passage. Though it’s a bit invasive, it has been known to significantly relieve nasal obstruction, giving patients a better quality of life.
Endoscopic Septoplasty
Endoscopic septoplasty is less invasive compared to the traditional method and uses an endoscope. This is a thin tube equipped with a camera that helps doctors see inside your nose clearly.Â
The endoscope aids in precise adjustments with minimal cutting, leading to quicker recovery times and less discomfort post-surgery. This method is beneficial for those who prefer faster healing with reduced pain.
Revision Septoplasty
Sometimes, the initial septoplasty may not fully resolve nasal blockage. In such cases, a revision septoplasty is performed. This procedure corrects any remaining deviations in the nasal structure from the first surgery.Â
It is usually more focused and works on specific areas that need further improvement, helping patients achieve optimal breathing function.
Turbinate Reduction
Turbinate reduction often accompanies septoplasty when enlarged turbinates contribute to nasal obstruction. Turbinates are small structures inside the nose that help filter and humidify air.Â
However, when swollen, they can block airflow. This procedure reduces their size, enhancing breathing comfort alongside septoplasty.
Functional Septorhinoplasty
Functional septorhinoplasty combines septoplasty with rhinoplasty, addressing both breathing issues and cosmetic concerns of the nose.Â
This dual approach not only improves nasal function but also enhances the appearance of the nose, offering comprehensive benefits for patients seeking both medical and aesthetic improvements.
