Deviation surgery is actually not very difficult, but there is an old fear of tampons among the public. However, tampons are no longer a problem. Techniques in which no tampon is placed or in which tampons are placed through which the patient can breathe, make the patient feel better by allowing him to breathe more easily. Although many patients diagnosed with deviation surgery hesitate from this operation, in fact, deviation treatment is not a surgery to fear at all and prevents many discomforts that the patient may experience in the future, especially hearing problems.
What is deviation?
Briefly defined, deviation means the curvature of the cartilage and bone wall in the middle of the nose. The most serious complaint caused by deviation is nasal congestion. In such a case, the patient may feel that he cannot breathe sufficiently through his nose, especially when exerting himself, and that his mouth is dry and rusty when he wakes up in the morning. Deviation can contribute to snoring, can lead to pharyngitis as it causes continuous mouth breathing, and can predispose to sinusitis and nosebleeds. Although deviation surgeries can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation, general anesthesia is now preferred for patient comfort and for the surgeon to work more smoothly.
From what age can deviation surgery be performed?
The classically accepted lower age limit for deviation surgery is 18. It has been reported in the literature that surgery can be performed at younger ages in special cases.
What is turbinate?
Turbinate is the name of the nasal meatus sector located on both side walls of the nose. There are 3 pairs of turbinates in the nose: lower, middle and upper turbinates.
What can enlarged nasal flesh cause?
Physiologically, in a framework we call the nasal cycle, the lower nasal concha humidifies, warms and filters the air by periodically swelling with blood, one on the right and one on the left. For this reason, even in someone who has no deviation, one side of the nose can be felt more clearly than the other at any time. However, if an abnormal growth occurs in these meats, it may cause nasal congestion. Especially in patients with deviation, the nasal concha on one side is exposed to more extreme air and swells permanently over time, so the nose can become completely blocked. In addition, the middle nasal concha may swell with air like a balloon (concha bullosa), blocking the mouth of the sinuses and predisposing to sinusitis, or pushing the wall in the middle of the nose and causing deviation.
Who gets nasal enlargement?
Nasal polyps can be referred to as “nasal polyps” among the public. Likewise, the adenoid in the nasal area behind the nose is popularly called nasal flesh. In fact, the nasal concha is located in the front of the nose and inside the nose.
Nasal cone is a structure within the nose that is found in every human being. However, nasal flesh enlargement may cause problems for the person. Especially people who work in dusty jobs and have allergies experience nasal flesh enlargement. People who use nasal sprays for a long time and in incorrect doses may also experience nasal flesh enlargement.
Nasal flesh enlargement may be caused by a structural feature. Especially in people with cartilage curvature in the nose, nasal flesh enlargement occurs. At the same time, nasal enlargement occurs more frequently when people with allergies work in dusty environments.
While nasal flesh enlargement may be a temporary condition in allergic patients, recurrent allergy attacks and the use of nasal spray medications may make nasal flesh enlargement permanent.
How is deviation surgery performed?
Although deviation surgeries can be performed with local anesthesia or sedation, general anesthesia is preferred at these times for the comfort of the patient and for the surgeon to work more easily.
Before deviation surgery
Stay away from aspirin, ibuprfen or medications containing vitamin E 2 weeks before the surgery. This is an extremely serious thing to remember if you buy a medicine from the pharmacy or doctor. Many painkillers and cold medications contain these substances. Painkillers such as Vermidon and Novalgin can be used when necessary. We stay away from all tobacco containing nicotine, such as cigarettes, pipes and cigars. Nicotine can affect healthy blood circulation and ultimately a successful surgery outcome. However, it puts you in a higher risk group during anesthesia. Vitamin C 1000 mt 3 times a day. can be taken as . The reason is that vitamin C helps wound healing. 1 week before surgery: Laboratory, ECG, chest x-ray and eye examination if necessary There is no separate surgery called nose rasping surgery. Filing the nasal bone is a procedure generally performed in all nose surgeries.
Instead of breaking the nasal bone, it would be more accurate to use the term cutting the nasal bones using special chisels.
Sometimes, the nasal bone is shaved by nose rasping, that is, nasal bones rasping.
Patients call it nose rasping surgery to express that the arch on the back of the nose is too small. Even if the arch on the back of the nose is very small, the size of the aesthetic nose surgery will not change.
The purpose of calling this maneuver, which is called nose rasping (nose rasping surgery) by patients and is actually applied in all rhinoplasty surgeries, is to imply a smaller than normal plastic surgery procedure.
In reality, there is no such distinction between what patients call nose rasping (nose rasping surgery).
Nose surgeries are not performed only to make the nose look smoother. Nose surgery provides permanent relief to the problems experienced in cases such as nasal congestion and breathing difficulties. In cases that can be resolved with nose surgery and surgical intervention is mandatory, nose surgery can be performed.
Rhinoplasty surgery is a surgery that must be performed under general anesthesia. All nose surgeries requiring general anesthesia are performed in an operating room environment in a hospital with appropriate equipment.
Surgery time varies between 1 and 4 hours depending on the size of the problem in the nose. During nose surgery, bones and cartilages are shaped according to the model determined in the design. Accordingly, if there is excess bone and cartilage, it is removed, and if there is a deficiency or depression, it is filled with bone and cartilage pieces.
In rhinoplasty surgery, each surgeon has his or her own technique that he or she is accustomed to.
I never break the bone structures while they are being shaped during nose surgery. Shaping the bones by breaking them creates additional damage, which increases complaints such as pain, swelling and bruising after surgery.
Cutting and shaping the bones with thin, precise chisels, as if a sculptor does, increases the quality of the surgery, prevents the emergence of unwanted surprises by making the surgery more controlled, and also minimizes pain, swelling and bruising.
Nose: At the end of the surgery, I do not place a tampon in the nostrils. In this way, it is possible for you to breathe easily through your nose after the surgery. At the end of the surgery, I place an external plastic mold to preserve the shape given to your nose. This mold stays in your nose for 1 week.
Make sure that you fully share your expectations and wishes with your doctor during the pre-operative meetings.
