Generally, nasal septum deviation correction surgery refers to septoplasty, a common treatment for deviated nasal septum, primarily involving the removal of the deviated septal tissue. The specific procedure is as follows:
1. Administer local anesthesia to the patient.
2. After anesthesia takes effect, inject 1% lidocaine submucosally at the nasal septum to increase the thickness of the nasal mucosa.
3. Make an L-shaped incision at the junction of skin and mucosa in the anterior part of one side of the nasal septum, then separate the mucosa, perichondrium, and periosteum to expose the deviated cartilage and bone tissue.
4. Use surgical instruments to remove the deviated cartilage and bone tissue, and release the mucosa and periosteum.
5. Pack both nasal cavities or perform mattress sutures.
This procedure requires specialized expertise. To avoid potential harm to the body, it is recommended to undergo the surgery at a reputable hospital under the guidance of a qualified physician. After surgery, avoid forcefully rubbing the nose to prevent compromising the surgical outcome.
