SEPTOPLASTY IN IRAN

SEPTOPLASTY IN IRAN
(DEVIATED SEPTUM SURGERY)

S eptoplasty (SEP-toe-plas-tee) is a surgical procedure to straighten the bone and cartilage dividing the space between your two nostrils (septum). When the septum is crooked, it's known as a deviated septum. A deviated septum can make it harder to breathe through your nose and can increase the risk of sinus infections due to poor drainage.
During septoplasty, your nasal septum is repositioned to the middle of your nose. This may require your surgeon to cut and remove parts of your nasal septum before reinserting them in the proper position.

Septoplasty in Iran: Everything you need to know

The surgery in which the nasal septum is repaired and smoothed is called septoplasty. The nasal septum is a wall that divides the nasal passage into two separate cavities, right and left. The lower half of this septum is cartilaginous and the upper half is bony. Septum deviation may be due to congenital factors but is sometimes due to trauma. For most people, this septum is not exactly in the middle, but it does not cause any problems. In about one-third of the population, this deviation from the centerline is so great that breathing becomes difficult, resulting in respiratory problems. It also increases the risk of sinus infection due to poor mucosal drainage. Other possible symptoms of nasal septal deformity include recurrent nosebleeds and facial pain .
After septoplasty in Iran, the flow of air and mucous fluids in the nose and as a result your quality of life improves. Your surgeon may cut and replace parts of your septum before repositioning it. The only way to treat septal deviation is surgery.

What is septoplasty?

Septoplasty is surgery inside the nose to straighten a deviated septum. The septum, about 7 centimeters long (2.5 to 3 inches) in adults, is made of cartilage and bone. It separates the inside of the nose into two chambers or nostrils .

Why it's done

A crooked septum is common. But when it's severe, a deviated septum can block one side of your nose and reduce airflow, causing difficulty breathing through one or both sides of your nose.
Septoplasty straightens the nasal septum by trimming, repositioning and replacing cartilage, bone or both.
If you experience symptoms — such as difficulty breathing through your nose — that affect your quality of life, you may consider surgery to fix a deviated septum .

Risks

As with any major surgery, septoplasty carries risks, such as bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to the anesthetic. Other possible risks specific to septoplasty include :

C ontinued symptoms, such as nasal obstruction
Excessive bleeding
A change in the shape of your nose
A hole in the septum
Decreased sense of smell
Clotted blood in the nasal space that has to be drained
Temporary numbness in the upper gum, teeth or nose

You may need additional surgery to treat some of these complications. You may also need additional surgery if the outcome of septoplasty doesn't match your expectations. Talk to your doctor about your specific risks before surgery .

How you prepare before septoplasty

Before scheduling septoplasty, you'll meet with your surgeon to discuss benefits and risks of the surgery. This meeting generally includes:

Your medical history. Your doctor will ask about conditions you have or have had, as well as any current medications or supplements that you're taking.
A physical examination. You'll have a physical exam, including any relevant tests. The doctor will inspect your skin and the inside and outside of your nose.
Photographs. Someone from your doctor's office may take photographs of your nose from different angles. Your doctor can use these photos for discussion before septoplasty or for reference during and after surgery.
A discussion of your expectations. You and your doctor should talk about your expectations. He or she will explain what septoplasty can and can't do for you and what your results might be.

Food and medications
Avoid medications containing aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) before and after surgery. These medications may increase bleeding. Take only those medications approved or prescribed by your surgeon.
Other precautions
If you smoke, stop smoking. Smoking increases your risk of having problems during and after surgery. Smoking can slow the healing process

During the procedure
The procedure may be done with either local or general anesthesia. Which type of anesthesia is used depends on how complex your surgery is, and what you and your surgeon prefer.

Local anesthesia.
This type of anesthesia is limited to your nose. Your doctor injects pain-numbing medication (anesthetic) into your nasal tissues. If you'll also be sedated, this is done using IV medication. The medication makes you groggy but not fully unconscious.

General anesthesia.
With general anesthesia, you inhale an anesthetic agent or receive an anesthetic through an IV line. This type of anesthesia affects your entire body and induces a temporary state of unconsciousness.

Talk with your doctor beforehand about which kind of anesthesia is best for you.

During surgery, the incision is closed with absorbable suture. Soft silicone splints may be inserted inside each nostril to support the septum. To prevent postoperative bleeding, your doctor may place bandage-like material in your nose (packing).

After surgery, you're moved to a recovery room, where the staff monitors you and watches for any complications. This procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, so you'll likely be able to go home the same day. You will need someone to drive you home, however .

After the procedure
To further decrease the chances of bleeding and swelling, your doctor may ask that you follow these precautions for several weeks after surgery. Depending on the extent of your surgery, you may not need to do all of these:

Elevate your head when you're sleeping.
Don't blow your nose for several weeks.
Wear clothes that fasten in the front; don't pull clothing, such as shirts or sweaters, over your head.
Avoid strenuous activities, such as aerobics and jogging, for up to five weeks to avoid potentially causing a nosebleed.

What happens after septoplasty?

After surgery, the patient is transferred to the recovery room, where the nurse monitors him. Normally, this takes a few hours. After complete recovery from anesthesia, they can return home on the same day of surgery. The patient needs the help of a friend or family member to transport them from the surgery center to the home. For help, it may be great for a family member or friend to stay with the patient the first night after septoplasty.
Patients can go to bed and rest while arriving home from the surgery center with their head on two to three pillows. They can reduce fluid accumulation in the tissues (edema) and swelling by raising the head above the heart. They can get out of bed with the help of the others and go to toilet. Patients should refrain from any force when urinating or defecating. If they have constipation, they can use a stool softener or mild laxative.

You may have some swelling of your nose, upper lip, cheeks, or around your eyes after nasal surgery. You may have some bruises around your nose and eyes. Your nose may be sore and will bleed. This may last for several days after surgery.The tip of your nose and your upper lip and gums may be numb. Feeling will return in a few weeks to a few months. Your sense of smell may not be as good after surgery. But it will improve and will often return to normal in 1 to 2 months.You will have a drip pad under your nose to collect mucus and blood. Change it only when it bleeds through. You may have to do this every hour for 24 hours after surgery.You will probably be able to return to work or school in a few days and to your normal routine in about 3 weeks. But this varies with your job and how much surgery you had. Most people recover fully in 1 to 2 months.You will have to visit your doctor during the 3 to 4 months after your surgery. Your doctor will check to see that your nose is healing well.
This care sheet gives you a general idea about how long it will take for you to recover. But each person recovers at a different pace. Follow the steps below to get better as quickly as possible .

How can you care for yourself at home?

Activity

Rest when you feel tired. Getting enough sleep will help you recover. Do not lie flat. Raise your head with two or three pillows. This can reduce swelling. Try to sleep on your back for the month after surgery. You can also sleep in a reclining chair.
Try to walk each day. Start by walking a little more than you did the day before. Bit by bit, increase the amount you walk. Walking boosts blood flow and helps prevent pneumonia and constipation. Also, try to sit and stand as much as you can.
For 1 week, try not to bend over or lift anything heavier than 4.5 kg (10 lb). This may include a child, heavy grocery bags and milk containers, a heavy briefcase or backpack, cat litter or dog food bags, or a vacuum cleaner.
You can take a shower or bath. Avoid swimming for 6 weeks.
Avoid strenuous activities, such as bicycle riding, jogging, weight lifting, or aerobic exercise, for 1 week or until your doctor says it is okay.
You may drive when you are no longer taking prescription pain pills and feel up to it.

Diet

You can eat your normal diet. If your stomach is upset, try bland, low-fat foods like plain rice, broiled chicken, toast, and yogurt.
You may notice that your bowel movements are not regular right after your surgery. This is common. Try to avoid constipation and straining with bowel movements. You may want to take a fibre supplement every day. If you have not had a bowel movement after a couple of days, ask your doctor about taking a mild laxative.

Medicines

Your doctor will tell you if and when you can restart your medicines. You will also get instructions about taking any new medicines.
If you take aspirin or some other blood thinner, ask your doctor if and when to start taking it again. Make sure that you understand exactly what your doctor wants you to do.
Do not take aspirin, aspirin-containing medicines, or anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) for 3 weeks following surgery unless your doctor says it is okay.
Take pain medicines exactly as directed.

✔

If the doctor gave you a prescription medicine for pain, take it as prescribed.
✔

Do not take two or more pain medicines at the same time unless the doctor told you to. Many pain medicines have acetaminophen, which is Tylenol. Too much acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be harmful.

If your doctor prescribed antibiotics, take them as directed. Do not stop taking them just because you feel better. You need to take the full course of antibiotics.
If you think your pain medicine is making you sick to your stomach:

✔

Take your medicine after meals (unless your doctor has told you not to).
✔

Ask your doctor for a different pain medicine .

Incision care

You will have a drip pad under your nose to collect blood. Change it only when it has bled through. You may have to do this every hour for 24 hours after surgery. When bleeding stops, you can remove it.
If you have packing in your nose, leave it in. Your doctor will take it out.

Ice and elevation

To help with swelling and pain, put ice or a cold pack on your nose for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
Sleep with your head raised up. You can also sleep in a reclining chair.

Other instructions

Do not blow your nose for 1 week after surgery.
Do not put anything into your nose.
If you must sneeze, open your mouth and sneeze naturally.
After any packing is removed, use saline (saltwater) nasal washes to help keep your nasal passages open and wash out mucus and bacteria. You can buy saline nose drops at a grocery store or drugstore. Or you can make your own at home by adding 5 mL (1 tsp) of salt and 5 mL (1 tsp) of baking soda to 500 mL (2 cups) of distilled water. If you make your own, fill a bulb syringe with the solution, insert the tip into your nostril, and squeeze gently. Blow your nose.
You can wear your glasses when you wish. Do not wear contacts until the day after the surgery.

WHEN SHOULD WE GET EMERGENCY HELP?

Patients should notify the doctor if they have the following symptoms after septoplasty:

A rapid surge in nasal bleeding that isn’t relieved by pressure, ice, or head elevation.
A fever higher than 101.5 F (38.6 C) continues despite increasing the volume of fluid and acetaminophen (Tylenol). When a person has a fever, they should try to drink one cup of fluid per waking hour.
Sharp pain or a fever that does not go down after taking pain killers.
Increased nasal or eye swelling or redness.
