Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated septum by reshaping, repositioning, or removing portions of the cartilage and bone that divide the nasal passages. The goal of septoplasty is to improve airflow through the nose, reduce nasal obstruction, and alleviate related symptoms such as chronic congestion, difficulty breathing, or recurrent sinus infections. The procedure is typically done on an outpatient basis and can significantly improve overall nasal function and quality of life.
A deviated septum can cause ongoing nasal congestion, sinus infections, and breathing difficulties.
