Septoplasty Surgery

There are lot of individuals who suffer from recurrent cough and cold. In severe cases complain includes ear pain as well. In fact the culprit is not the throat but the nose. God has not made us absolutely straight and one of the bones that is generally not straight is your nasal bone, medically we call it nasal septum. In some people it is just slightly deviated hence do not cause too much of blockage in the airway. Whereas in some people it is grossly deviated which leads to blockage, we call the condition Deviated Nasal Septum. Due to the blockage in the airway the sinuses do not get proper aeration leading to cloging of sinuses leading to post nasal drip of the the infected mucus into the throat. In case of gross deviation we need to correct the same through a surgery called Septoplasty or Rhin-Septoplasty. The bone that is corrected do not grow back again after 18 years of age. This is the reason that unless it is absolutely unavaoidable septoplasty is not advised till the person completes 18 year of age.
