Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated nasal septum, the cartilage and bone that separates the two nasal passages. When the septum is significantly misaligned, it can obstruct airflow and lead to chronic nasal congestion, difficulty in breathing through the nose, snoring, recurrent sinus infections, facial pressure, and disturbed sleep.

The procedure involves straightening and repositioning the septum to restore proper airflow through the nasal passages. By correcting the structural blockage, septoplasty helps patients breathe more easily, sleep better, and experience long-term relief from nasal obstruction.

Septoplasty offers several long-term benefits, including improved nasal function, reduced sinus-related problems, better sleep quality, and enhanced overall comfort and quality of life. It is a safe and commonly performed procedure, often done as a day-care surgery with a smooth recovery when performed by an experienced ENT specialist.
