What is Septoplasty in Kolkata?

A septum is the nose partition. The process of straightening the nose septum is called septoplasty. Any deviation in septum is not visible externally on a general basis. The most important after effects of a bent septum is blocked nose or chronic sinus infection.

Let us understand the process of Septoplasty in Kolkata. Septoplasty in Kolkata is a short operation performed under the supervision of an ENT. It usually takes 24 – 36 hours for the patient to be discharged. The process involves creating incisions into the nose and separating nasal lining from the underlying cartilages and bones. Any kind of prevalent deformities are sorted out and a fresh nasal lining is used via self absorbed stitches. . This is a pretty simple operation which is almost painless. However, you may be required to painkillers for initial 2 – 3 days. The patient operated upon is normally taught the process of nasal irrigation with salt water to remove any loosened mucous and blood clots from nasal and sinus cavities. It is quite common for the nose to stay blocked for as long as up to 2 months and doctor may advise you nasal drops for the same to expedite healing.  Another often reported symptom is numbness of the tip of the nose. However, this recovers over a period of time.
