Septoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated septum, which is a condition where the nasal septum (the cartilage and bone dividing the two nasal passages) is displaced or crooked. This deviation can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and other symptoms. The surgery involves repositioning or removing the deviated portion of the septum to improve airflow and alleviate symptoms. Septoplasty is typically performed under general or local anesthesia and may be combined with other procedures such as turbinate reduction or rhinoplasty to address additional nasal issues.
