Nasal Cavity Surgeries at Top Ihilov: Fast, Quality, Reliable

ENT doctors at the Top Ihilov clinic are ready to provide comprehensive assistance to specialized patients, including those from CIS countries and Russia, in correcting deformational changes of the nasal septum.

The classic method of choice for correcting a deviated nasal septum can be submucosal resection. Its advantages include:

  • The possibility of performing the procedure under both general and local anesthesia;
  • Quick removal of the deviated sections of the septum, growths, and deformed cartilages (the operation takes from 30 to 45 minutes);
  • The ability to monitor the actions of surgeons with endovideo equipment.

Although the surgical technique was devised over a century ago, submucosal resection remains the most reliable, radical method for correcting the nasal septum. Often, it is prescribed in cases where other methods of correcting the nasal septum have not yielded results. At the Top Ihilov clinic, this intervention is continuously improved to facilitate the postoperative period, enhance precision, reduce complication risks, and shorten hospitalization and rehabilitation times for the patient.

Another equally popular and in-demand method for correcting the curvature of the nasal septum and eliminating factors that hinder nasal breathing is the conchotomy method. In Israel, laser conchotomy has become widely used, allowing for quick, painless, and minimal risk of complications in destroying the cavernous bodies of the nasal concha structures. Variants of laser conchotomy include:

  • submucosal laser conchotomy;
  • mucosal laser conchotomy;
  • contact laser conchotomy.

Advantages of Laser Conchotomy:

  • the possibility of performing it on an outpatient basis;
  • the possibility of performing it under local anesthesia;
  • short operation times (from 2 to 2.5 hours);
  • elimination of the possibility of significant blood loss;
  • rapid tissue healing;
  • significant reduction in the rehabilitation period.

In addition to laser conchotomy, Top Ihilov also uses other types of this intervention. Among them:

  • electrocoagulation,
  • radio surgery,
  • ultrasound surgery.

The choice of a specific conchotomy or submucosal resection technique at the Top Ihilov clinic will be tailored strictly individually, after a thorough study of the disease history and the current status of the patient.

The nasal septum is an anatomical structure that divides the internal cavity of the nose into two nostrils. The septum is composed of two types of tissues. In the front, there is cartilage, and in the back, a thin bone. In cases of septal deformities, a person begins to experience breathing difficulties and develops persistent snoring.

Operations such as conchotomy or submucosal resection help relieve patients from such uncomfortable sensations.

Accurate Diagnosis: Guarantee of Successful ENT Surgery

As with any other surgical intervention, certain diagnostic and preparatory procedures must be carried out for conchotomy and submucosal resection. The standard diagnostic program before such interventions will include:

  • Examination by the leading otolaryngologist of the clinic with a detailed medical history collection;
  • ECG;
  • Fluorography;
  • Complete blood and urine tests;
  • Blood coagulation test;

The diagnostic and preparation program may be expanded at the discretion of the treating physicians in each specific case.

The preparatory and diagnostic process for patients at the Top Ihilov clinic who require conchotomy or submucosal resection of the nasal septum will be conducted in optimal timeframes and with excellent results.
