Nasal septum deviation can be either congenital or acquired. Patients with a deviated septum experience difficulty in nasal breathing, nosebleeds, headaches, and often develop chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as loud snoring.
For example, due to impaired drainage of secretions from the nasal sinuses, swelling of the nasal mucosa, chronic rhinitis, exacerbation of sinusitis, and inflammation of the nasal cavities often occur.
ENT surgeons at Top Ihilov perform correction of the deviated nasal septum using laser endoscopic septoplasty.
Laser technologies allow the operation to be performed with minimal blood loss and tissue damage; moreover, the laser beam has antiseptic properties. Since septoplasty is performed from the inside of the nasal cavity, there are no bruises or swelling left after the surgical intervention.>The treatment method is chosen by the ENT surgeon in each individual case.
Diagnosis Before Septoplasty
At Top Ihilov, in addition to standard examination methods (X-ray, computed tomography), endoscopic examination of the nasal cavity is performed, allowing for the examination of the smallest anatomical features.
Also, the ENT department at Top Ihilov conducts rhinomanometry - a study that provides an objective picture of nasal breathing and allows for the determination of the degree of deviation of the nasal septum.
Septoplasty at Top Ihilov is performed by ENT surgeons, some of whom are heads of ENT departments at the largest public hospitals in Israel.
