What Is Deviated Nasal Septum?
A deviated nasal septum is a common condition where the thin wall between the nostrils is off-center or crooked. This can cause breathing difficulties, nasal congestion, and discomfort. The nasal septum is made of cartilage and bone, and when it becomes deviated, it can obstruct the flow of air through the nasal passages.In some cases, a deviated nasal septum may be caused by a birth defect or injury. Other factors, such as allergies, colds, or sinus infections, can also contribute to the development of this condition.

Treatment Options Available in India
At MediBridge Healthcare, we offer three treatment options for deviated nasal septum: septoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and endoscopic septoplasty. Each procedure has its own advantages and may be recommended based on the patient's specific needs.Septoplasty
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to straighten a deviated nasal septum. This improves airflow, reduces nasal obstruction, and helps with breathing. During the procedure, the surgeon will:- Make an incision on the inside of the nose
- Remove or reposition the deviated cartilage and bone
- Reposition the septum to the middle of the nose
Septoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
Septorhinoplasty
Septorhinoplasty is a combined surgical procedure that corrects both the nasal septum and the outer shape of the nose. This procedure is performed for both functional and cosmetic reasons. During the procedure, the surgeon will:- Perform septoplasty to straighten the nasal septum
- Reconstruct the nose to improve its shape and appearance
Septorhinoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 2-4 hours to complete.
Endoscopic Septoplasty
Endoscopic septoplasty is a minimally invasive surgery used to correct a deviated nasal septum. This procedure uses an endoscope (a small camera) inserted into the nose to visualize the nasal passages and septum. The surgeon will:- Make small incisions on the inside of the nose
- Insert the endoscope to visualize the nasal passages and septum
- Use specialized instruments to remove or reposition the deviated cartilage and bone
Endoscopic septoplasty is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours to complete.
