Septoplasty

The nasal septum is the wall that divides the nasal cavity into two, consisting of cartilage and bone, and ensures smooth airflow. It may not always be properly in the midline.

Most of the time, septum deviation, which is caused by previous physical traumas, can sometimes occur in the mother’s womb or sometimes due to genetic reasons and structurally.

Although septum curvature is seen in most people, it does not need to be operated because it does not always cause clinical complaints. If this curvature causes difficulty in breathing, noisy breathing during sleep, sinusitis, headache and frequent nosebleeds, surgery is required.
