At Southern ENT Associates, Septoplasty, or deviated septum surgery, is a precision-driven surgical procedure designed to rectify a misaligned nasal septum – the divider between the two nasal cavities. This operation is particularly beneficial for patients whose breathing is impeded by a deviated septum, as it facilitates easier breathing, alleviates nasal congestion, and can notably diminish snoring issues.
The procedure is conducted internally, without the need for external incisions, and is typically performed on an outpatient basis. Patients generally experience minimal discomfort post-surgery and can swiftly resume their daily activities after a brief recovery period. The outcome is a marked enhancement in nasal airflow and overall nasal function.
Nasal turbinate reduction at Southern ENT Associates is a targeted surgical procedure focused on diminishing the size of the turbinates – the structures in the nose responsible for air purification and humidification. Enlargement of turbinates, often due to allergies or other conditions, can obstruct nasal passages and impede breathing.
The procedure is executed by either surgically removing part of the turbinate or utilizing specialized energy techniques to reduce turbinate tissue. This effectively opens up the nasal passages, significantly easing airflow and reducing congestion. The resultant improvement in breathing can dramatically increase a patient's comfort and overall quality of life, with most experiencing considerable relief from nasal obstruction.
