How to treat the curvature of the nasal septum: surgery, laser correction
The nasal septum is called a "plate", covered with a mucous membrane, which divides the cavity of the nose into two halves. This septum consists of cartilaginous and bone fragments.
In the places of their connections, various deformations are often observed. In general, there are two main reasons for the curvature of the nasal septum: nasal trauma and congenital deformation of the nasal "plate".
Symptoms of curvature of the nasal septum
On the curvature of the nasal septum indicate such symptoms:
Moderate difficulty or complete absence of nasal breathing.
Violation of nasal breathing in many cases is accompanied by snoring.
If the curved sections of the septum block the ventilation of the paranasal sinuses, then all conditions for the development of sinusitis and their transition to chronic forms are created.
Curvature of the shape of the nose.
Due to injury to the nasal septum mucosa, recurrent nasal bleeding may occur.
Significantly worsened hearing. This is due to a violation of the passage of air into the auditory tube through the nasal cavity.
Frequent respiratory diseases, which are protracted and complicated by otitis and sinusitis.
The operation to eliminate the curvature of the nasal septum
In the event that the curvature of the septum of the noseis not pronounced, there is no need to correct it. But when the patient has a complete violation of nasal breathing due to this problem, doctors recommend resorting to the treatment of curvature of the nasal septum by surgical means, namely, to septoplasty.
Septoplasty is a form correction operationcurved nasal septum. The purpose of this surgery is to improve nasal breathing. Today, also minimally invasive surgical interventions to correct the curvature of the nasal septum become popular. Their basis is the use of modern techniques and tools that allow for low-traumatic surgery with an ideal cosmetic result.
To such, for example, operations, it is possible to carryendoscopic septoplasty, during which a special endoscopic technique is used. Many doctors conduct surgery with a surgical laser in the curvature of the nasal septum. It allows you to accurately remove the deformation without negative consequences.
Laser septoplasty is not only a functional, but also a virtually bloodless operation. It is performed under conditions of good visibility and always guarantees a reliable result.
Treatment of curvature of nasal septum by laser
The method of laser treatment of curvature of the nasalthe septum is very promising, because it is based on the rapid evaporation of deformed cartilage tissues. This treatment allows specialists to control the depth of penetration into the nasal cavity of the beam and with skillful work, after treatment there are no complications.
Long-term observations have shown that in the processQuantum laser therapy stimulates the entire body of the patient, improves tissue regeneration and blood circulation. Therefore, after surgery, the curvature of the nasal septum returns to normal, and sleep also normalizes and immunity improves. Although there are contraindications to this method, it is oncology, pregnancy, seizures and fevers, endocrine diseases and other ailments.
And in general, after the operation and laser treatment of the curvature of the nasal septum, it is necessary to limit the physical load for about a month and to guard against a strong drop in atmospheric temperatures.
