Septoplasty Surgery | Septoplasty for DNS

**Septoplasty Surgery | Septoplasty for DNS by Dr. Saloni Sinha at Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust** A **deviated nasal septum (DNS)** is a common condition where the thin wall of bone and cartilage that divides the two nasal passages is displaced to one side. This can lead to breathing difficulties, frequent sinus infections, and other related health problems. **Septoplasty** is the surgical procedure designed to correct a deviated septum and restore normal airflow through the nose. At **Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust**, Dr. Saloni Sinha, a renowned ENT surgeon, specializes in **septoplasty surgery** to help individuals breathe easier and live more comfortably. ### What is Septoplasty? **Septoplasty** is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a **deviated nasal septum (DNS)**, which can obstruct airflow and lead to chronic nasal congestion, snoring, or sinus problems. The surgery involves repositioning or removing the excess tissue or bone that is blocking the nasal passages to restore normal airflow and improve breathing. Septoplasty is often performed as a minimally invasive procedure, with the goal of enhancing the patient's quality of life by addressing both aesthetic and functional concerns. ### Why is Septoplasty Surgery Necessary? Septoplasty is typically recommended for individuals who experience the following symptoms due to a deviated septum: - **Chronic nasal congestion**: Difficulty breathing through the nose, especially when lying down. - **Frequent sinus infections**: Recurrent sinus infections or sinusitis caused by poor drainage of the sinuses. - **Snoring**: Difficulty breathing through the nose during sleep, leading to snoring or disturbed sleep. - **Nasal airway obstruction**: A feeling of blocked or obstructed nasal passages that can affect daily activities. - **Frequent nosebleeds**: Dryness in the nasal passages due to an obstructed airway, leading to frequent nosebleeds. Additionally, septoplasty may be necessary for individuals who have a deviated septum due to **trauma or injury** or those experiencing difficulty with **sleep apnea**. ### Why Choose Dr. Saloni Sinha for Septoplasty Surgery?

The steps of the surgery include: - **Incision**: An incision is made inside the nose (no external cuts), through which Dr. Sinha will access the deviated septum. - **Correction**: The deviated cartilage or bone is repositioned, removed, or reshaped to open the nasal passages and improve airflow. - **Suturing**: The incisions are then closed with dissolvable sutures, and the nose is gently packed to support healing and reduce swelling. 3. **Post-Surgery Care**: After the surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area for a short time. Dr. Sinha will provide instructions on how to care for your nose during the recovery period, including managing any discomfort, reducing swelling, and avoiding activities that could strain the nasal passages. 4. **Follow-Up**: Regular follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery, remove any nasal packing (if necessary), and ensure that the nasal passages are healing correctly. ### Benefits of Septoplasty Surgery 1. **Improved Breathing**: The most significant benefit of septoplasty is the restoration of proper airflow through the nose, making it easier to breathe, especially during sleep or physical activity. 2. **Reduced Sinus Infections**: By correcting the nasal passageways, septoplasty improves sinus drainage and reduces the frequency of sinus infections or sinusitis. 3. **Enhanced Quality of Life**: With improved nasal breathing, many patients experience better sleep, increased energy levels, and enhanced overall well-being. 4. **Correcting Snoring**: Septoplasty can help reduce or eliminate snoring by clearing nasal obstruction and promoting more effective airflow while sleeping. 5. **Permanent Results**: The results of septoplasty are typically permanent, and most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements in nasal function after the surgery. ### What to Expect After Septoplasty Surgery 1. **Recovery Time**: While the initial recovery time after septoplasty is relatively short (1-2 weeks), complete healing of the nasal passages can take several weeks. During the first few days, you may experience mild swelling, bruising around the eyes, and nasal congestion. 2. **Managing Discomfort**: Mild pain, discomfort, and nasal congestion are common after surgery. Dr. Sinha will prescribe pain medication and recommend decongestants or saline sprays to ease these symptoms. 3. **Post-Surgical Care**: It’s essential to avoid blowing your nose for a few weeks after surgery to prevent damage to the healing tissue. Dr. Sinha may also recommend nasal saline washes to keep the nasal passages moist and facilitate healing. 4. **Follow-Up Appointments**: Dr. Sinha will monitor your progress during follow-up visits to ensure proper healing. The nasal packing will be removed after a few days, and sutures will dissolve on their own. ### Risks and Considerations As with any surgical procedure, septoplasty carries some risks, including: - **Infection** or **bleeding** - **Nasal scarring** or changes in nasal shape (though rare) - **Nasal obstruction** due to scarring or poor healing - **Persistent nasal symptoms** or need for revision surgery Dr. Sinha uses advanced techniques to minimize these risks and ensure the best possible outcome. ### Why Dr. Saloni Sinha Charitable Trust?
