Dr. Vladimir Grigoryants Reviews Septoplasty
Many patients presenting for rhinoplasty also undergo treatment of a deviated septum or septoplasty. The septum is a cartilagenous wall that divides the nose into right and left parts. Most people (as many as 80%) have a deviated septum. Mild septal deviation does not typically cause any symptoms, whereas more significant septal deviation may cause nasal airway obstruction symptoms. Septoplasty is a surgical procedure done to straighten the septum to treat the symptoms of nasal airway obstruction.
