Septoplasty surgery aims to correct a deviated septum, improving breathing and alleviating related symptoms. Various types of septoplasty procedures may be employed based on the severity of deviation and individual patient needs:

• Traditional Septoplasty: The most common approach involves an incision inside the nose to access and straighten the septum.
• Endoscopic Septoplasty: Utilises an endoscope, a thin tube with a camera, to visualise and correct the septum through smaller incisions, often leading to quicker recovery and less scarring.
• Laser Septoplasty: Involves the use of lasers to reshape and remove tissue from the septum, reducing bleeding and potentially enhancing precision.
• Closed Septoplasty: A technique performed entirely through the nostrils, avoiding external incisions and minimising visible scarring.
• Open Septoplasty: Requires a small incision on the outside of the nose, offering greater access for extensive corrections and grafting.

Each type of septoplasty has its advantages and may be recommended based on the specific requirements and preferences of the patient, along with the expertise of the surgeon.

The cost of a septoplasty surgery varies as per the specific type advised by a healthcare provider, such as:

• Traditional Septoplasty
• Endoscopic Septoplasty
• Laser Septoplasty
• Closed Septoplasty
• Open Septoplasty

The cost can also vary widely depending on several factors, including the location, the extent of the procedure, the surgeon's experience, and the hospital's pricing structure.

Before undergoing septoplasty surgery, a thorough diagnosis is crucial:

• Medical History Review: Evaluate patient history, allergies, medications, and symptoms.
• Physical Examination: Assess nasal passages, septum deviation, congestion, and associated symptoms.
• Nasal Endoscopy: Use an endoscope for detailed visualisation of nasal structures.
• Imaging Studies: Utilise CT scans or MRI to assess nasal anatomy and severity of deviation.
• Allergy Testing: Conduct if allergic rhinitis is suspected.
• Functional Assessment: Evaluate nasal airflow using rhinomanometry or acoustic rhinometry.

This comprehensive diagnosis informs treatment decisions and ensures a personalised approach to addressing nasal obstruction and related symptoms effectively.
