Septoplasty surgery is done to correct a deviation of the septum separating the right & left nasal cavities. The commonest symptom will be nasal block. Unlike the traditional method of packing the nose after surgery, we have adopted a novel method of suturing the septum from inside the nose.Thus the patient will not have to go through the unpleasant experience of a packed closed nose. He/she can leave the hospital on the same day.
Hospital stay, & recovery:
Admission & discharge: The patient is admitted the day before & is discharged on the next day. Duration of surgery: The surgery takes approximately 1 hour. Postoperative period: We do not usually keep any packs after surgery. The septal flaps are sutured inside the nose. The healing time is 4 weeks.
