Septoplasty is a nose surgery to straighten a deviated septum. The septum, about 7 centimeters long (2.5 to 3 inches) in adolescents, is composed of bone and cartilage. It divides the inside of the nose into two chambers or noses. Septoplasty has been the only way to fix a deviated septum, which can make it hard to breathe through the nose and find it tough to breathe through the mouth. The breathing of the mouth can trigger dry mouth. The failure to breathe through the nose becomes much more difficult at night and can hinder sleep. Septoplasty is also part of several other surgical treatments, including sinus surgery and nasal tumor removal.
The treatment occurs absolutely within the nose. The doctor cuts a wall on one side of the nose, lifting equipment or removes the mucosa, a thin membrane that surrounds and protects the septum. This helps the doctor to reshape the bone and cartilage of the septum. Often sections of the cartilage and bone are cut, reshaped, and readjusted. The mucosa is then placed right over the septum. The professionals can then implant splints or soft packing to keep the nasal tissue in position, avoid nosebleeds, and prevent the development of scar tissue. Typically, the splints live in one to two weeks, and the packaging stays between 24 and 36 hours in the nose. Sometimes they may leave only dissolving stitches, which fade away on their own over the period.
After the Surgery one may feel pain or tenderness on the front of the nose, discomfort due to bulging and nasal irrigation of blood and-or mucous membranes. Surgery swelling may last two to three days, and the drainage may proceed for two to five days. Generally, over-the-counter medicine is appropriate for pain, although a pain reliever may be prescribed by the doctor.

Hello, my younger brother(bdw he is 24 years young) had an bike accident and he injured his leg. Doctor at a well-known hospital informed us that his leg might need amputation due to growing infection. We were terrified. After suggestion from a family member we admitted him to Elegance clinic under the Observation of Dr Ashutosh Shah. I must say he is an excellent surgeon. From the condition where my brother's leg need amputation to now where he can walk on both his legs. The Surgery was major, difficult but was successful. The doctors are amazing at their work. They provide personal attention as if patient is their own family member. Facility is well equipped with necessary instruments. Dr Chetan Patil also observing my brother used to conduct home visit regularly for dressing and check ups. We are really thankful to all doctors, nursing staff and management that my brother is able to walk on both his leg today. I really recommend Dr Ashutosh Shah and Elegance.
