Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct airway obstruction related to the nasal septum. These obstructions can be caused by structural deformity, disease or trauma. Deviation of the nasal septum is a common cause for nasal obstruction.
Septoplasty is usually done to improve breathing, but it also may be performed to assist in the management of polyps, tumors or epistaxis. Moore and Eccles (2011) reported on a review of 14 articles in which nasal airflow was measured before and after septoplasty due to nasal obstruction because of septal deviation.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates sinusitis affects more than 28.9 million adults in the United States. Frequently these conditions respond to medical treatment such as antibiotics and steroid therapy. When medical management is not successful, a septoplasty may be considered.
In a 2019 open, multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled trial in the Netherlands, van Egmond and colleagues reported on individuals who had nasal obstruction, a deviated septum, and an indication to have septoplasty.
Septal deviation occurs when the septum, which divides the two sides of the nasal cavity, is displaced from a straight vertical alignment causing blockage of airflow through one or both sides of the nose. The change in airflow can contribute to mucosal drying leading to epistaxis and sinusitis.
Nasal septoplasty is considered medically necessary for either of the following conditions when an appropriate and reasonable trial of conservative management (which might include use of topical nasal corticosteroids, decongestants, antibiotics, allergy evaluation and therapy, etc.) has failed.
A lateral rhinotomy is made to expose the intranasal mucosa. The diseased mucosal tissue is excised from the septum, nasal floor, and anterior aspect of the inferior turbinate. A split thickness graft is sutured to the recipient bed, covering the exposed cartilage and submucosal surfaces.
Reconstructive Surgery: Defined by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, ‘is performed on abnormal structures of the body, caused by congenital defects, developmental abnormalities, trauma, infection, tumors, or disease.
Rhinitis Medicamentosa (RM): A condition of rebound nasal congestion brought on by extended use of topical decongestants (e.g., oxymetazoline, phenylephrine, xylometazoline, and naphazoline nasal sprays) and certain oral medications (e.g., sympathomimetic amines and various 2-imidazolines) that constrict blood vessels in the lining of the nose.
