Wann wird die Nasenscheidewand operiert?
Grundsätzlich ist eine Korrektur nur dann nötig, wenn eine verbogene Nasenscheidewand Beschwerden hervorruft: Bei der sogenannten Septumplastik begradigt Ihr HNO-Arzt dann das Septum. Damit er die Nasenscheidewand noch genauer beurteilen kann, veranlasst er zuvor meist eine Computertomografie.
Was ist eine funktionelle Septorhinoplastik?
Verschiedene operative Eingriffe an der Nase, wie eine funktionelle Nasenkorrektur und gleichzeitig ästhetische Nasenkorrektur lassen sich bei einem einzigen, sorgfältig vorbereiteten OP-Termin miteinander kombinieren. Solche simultanen Korrekturen der inneren und äußeren Nase werden Septorhinoplastik genannt.
Do you need a plastic surgeon to do septoplasty?
A Plastic Surgeon who has an interest in Rhinoplasty will almost certainly be trained and experienced in septoplasty. An isolated anatomically deviated septum that isn’t causing functional compromise does not necessarily need to be straightened, but the septum is frequently used as a source of cartilage grafts.
When do you go home after septoplasty surgery?
Surgery to fix a crooked (or deviated) septum, called septoplasty, allows better airflow through the nose and may improve breathing. The septum is the cartilage that divides the nose into two nostrils. Septoplasty is usually an outpatient procedure, so most patients can go home the day of surgery.
What kind of surgery is done on the septum?
Septoplasty is surgery to repair the passages in the nose and make breathing easier. It is an operation that doctors perform, generally, on patients with a deviated septum, recurrent rhinitis or sinus problems. Septoplasty is also popular as septal reconstruction.
When to stop taking medications before septoplasty surgery?
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated septum. Septoplasty straightens the septum, allowing for better airflow through your nose. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking certain medications two weeks before the surgery.
