Treatments
Nasal Congestion Surgery
It covers surgical procedures performed to treat breathing difficulties caused by structural problems in the nose or other health problems. These surgeries aim to permanently resolve nasal congestion and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Causes of Nasal Congestion
Pediatric ENT specialists offer a wide range of solutions, from medical treatments to surgical procedures:
Curvature of the nasal septum.
Excessive expansion of the lower nasal concha.
Benign growths in the nose and sinuses.
Long-term nasal and sinus infections.
Deformations resulting from nasal fractures or injuries.
Surgical Methods
Septoplasty: It is performed to correct the deviation in the nasal septum.
Concha Reduction: It is performed to reduce the size of excessively large nasal conchas.
Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS): It is used in the treatment of chronic sinusitis and polyps.
Rhinoplasty: It can be performed to correct both aesthetic and functional problems.
Balloon Sinuplasty: It is a less invasive method and is performed to increase sinus opening.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
The cause of the obstruction is determined with a detailed examination and imaging methods (e.g. CT scan).
The surgeon evaluates the patient’s general health status and creates a personalized treatment plan.
Healing Process
There may be slight swelling and obstruction in the nose after most surgical procedures, but this decreases within a few weeks.
Full recovery usually takes a few months.
Following the doctor’s recommendations and check-ups reduces the risk of complications and speeds up recovery.
