Procedimiento de septoplastia
A septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated septum. A deviated septum occurs when the septum is off-center, resulting in difficulty breathing, reduced airflow, and other debilitating symptoms. Patients may consider this procedure if they have a deviated septum that is severely hindering their ability to comfortably breathe.
Most of the time, patients with a deviated septum were born with this condition. However, certain injuries can also cause the septum to deviate, leaving patients with the symptoms. A septoplasty procedure can benefit a broad array of patients who experience trouble breathing due to a deviated septum.
¿Cuando es necesario este procedimiento?
A menudo, las personas con tabique desviado no son conscientes de ello. Esto se debe a que, aunque pueden respirar cómodamente, pueden notarlo más adelante en la vida. Además de mejorar la respiración, una septoplastia también puede reducir las hemorragias nasales, eliminar los pólipos nasales y controlar las infecciones recurrentes.
Los pacientes pueden considerar una septoplastia si:
- Es difícil respirar debido a un tabique desviado.
- Experimentan infecciones recurrentes o hemorragias nasales.
- Experimentan apnea del sueño o ronquidos debido a un tabique desviado.

Qué esperar
Prior to your septoplasty, you will meet with your surgeon for a consultation to go over your upcoming procedure. The surgeon will use an examination technique to determine whether the patient would benefit from this procedure. If the patient and surgeon agree a septoplasty is the best option, they will move forward and discuss instructions for surgery.
During the procedure, the patient will be under general anesthesia to ensure their comfort. The surgeon will make a small incision in the nose to access the septum and will then realign, reshape, and trim excess cartilage that is obstructing the airflow through your nose. The surgery usually takes less than two hours with patients going home within a few hours post-surgery. Although septoplasty is a safe and effective procedure for treating nasal obstructions caused by a deviated septum, it is important for individuals considering this option to thoroughly discuss risks and expectations with a qualified healthcare professional before proceeding.
After the procedure, patients are expected to follow a strict postoperative care routine. It will typically take between one to two weeks for patients to recover, although they should continue to be careful in the weeks following. Patients may experience swelling, pain, and congestion, but this should go away with time.
