Endoscopic Breath Surgery

The septum is the part that divides the inside of the nose into two. This structure may be impaired due to congenital or subsequent trauma. Disruption of the septum in the nose can cause difficulty in breathing, snoring or frequent infections in the sinuses.

On the other hand, if you cannot breathe through the nose enough, you can breathe through the mouth. This can cause dry mouth or some problems in the teeth depending on it. Endoscopic septoplasty, that is, endoscopic breathing surgery, aims to correct the septum. With this surgery, breathing returns to normal and complications can usually be completely eliminated.

How is Endoscopic Breathing Surgery Performed?

Endoscopic breathing surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia in the operating environment. A small incision is made into the nose and if there is more than normal cartilage or bone that causes nasal congestion, this is removed or filed according to the nose structure. After the intranasal breathing surgery is completed, silicone pads that do not interfere with breathing are applied to control the bleeding situation. Afterwards, the stitches that disappear on their own can be placed in the incision. If this suture is applied, there is no need for a re-intervention. However, if normal stitches are placed, the stitches can be removed in about a week after the healing of the tissue. Full recovery may take several weeks. During this period, doctor's controls should not be neglected.

Who Is Endoscopic Breath Surgery Performed?

Endoscopic breathing surgery is performed for people who have problems caused by the structural deterioration of the septum. The complaints of these people are generally as follows:

Difficulty breathing
Frequent nasal congestion
Snore
Common infection in sinusitis
Postnasal drip
Headache
Dry mouth

Points to Consider After Endoscopic Breathing Surgery?

Endoscopic breathing surgery is performed under general anesthesia. If no complications develop after the surgery, the patient is discharged in a few days. Antibiotics may be recommended due to possible infection risks. Since it is an endoscopic surgery, bruises under the eyes, swelling or edema around the nose may be seen in some cases after the surgery. Complete recovery can take up to 2-3 weeks. It is important to protect the nose against the slightest bumps during the healing process.

Endoscopic breathing surgery is a method that can be used to solve respiratory distress in the nose. If you have the aforementioned complaints and problems, you can get information about endoscopic septoplasty by contacting a health institution as soon as possible.
