TREATMENTS FOR NOSE DISESES
(ENT SURGERY)
COMMON NASAL PROBLEMS
Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS)
A deviated nasal septum occurs when the thin wall separating the two nasal passages is displaced to one side. This can cause nasal blockage, difficulty breathing, recurrent sinus infections, headaches, snoring, and nosebleeds. DNS may be congenital or result from trauma to the nose. Diagnosis is confirmed by nasal examination or endoscopy. Mild cases can be managed with medications, but significant deviation often requires surgical correction to restore normal airflow and improve quality of life.
Nasal Polyps
Nasal polyps are soft, painless, non-cancerous growths arising from the lining of the nasal passages or sinuses. They are commonly associated with chronic sinusitis, allergies, asthma, or aspirin sensitivity. Symptoms include nasal blockage, reduced sense of smell, facial pressure, and recurrent infections. Diagnosis is made through nasal endoscopy or imaging. Initial treatment includes medications such as nasal steroids. Large or persistent polyps often require surgical removal to restore normal breathing.
Turbinate Hypertrophy
Inferior turbinate hypertrophy occurs when the soft tissues inside the nose become enlarged due to allergies, infections, or chronic irritation. This leads to persistent nasal congestion, mouth breathing, reduced airflow, and disturbed sleep. Turbinate enlargement is often associated with allergic rhinitis or chronic sinusitis. Diagnosis is made through nasal examination or endoscopy. Initial treatment includes medications such as nasal sprays and antihistamines. When symptoms persist, surgical turbinate reduction may be recommended.
Sinusitis (Sinus Infection)
Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become inflamed due to infection or blockage of sinus drainage pathways. Patients experience facial pain, nasal congestion, thick nasal discharge, headache, and fever. Acute sinusitis is usually treated with medications, while chronic sinusitis may require further evaluation. Nasal endoscopy and imaging help assess the extent of disease. Proper treatment prevents complications and significantly improves nasal comfort and overall health.
TREATMENT
Epistaxis (Nose Bleed) and Its Management
​
Epistaxis, or nose bleeding, can occur due to dryness, trauma, high blood pressure, infections, or bleeding disorders. Initial management includes nasal compression and cold compresses. Persistent or recurrent bleeding may require nasal packing or cauterization of the bleeding vessel. Nasal endoscopy helps identify the exact source of bleeding. Proper treatment ensures bleeding control and prevents recurrence. Patients are advised nasal care and avoidance of nasal trauma after treatment.
Turbinate Reduction Surgery
Turbinate reduction is a minimally invasive procedure performed to decrease the size of enlarged nasal turbinates while preserving their function. Techniques include radiofrequency ablation, cautery, or microdebrider-assisted reduction. The procedure improves nasal airflow, reduces congestion, and enhances breathing comfort. It is usually performed as a daycare procedure with minimal discomfort and quick recovery. Turbinate reduction is often combined with septoplasty for optimal results in patients with chronic nasal obstruction.
Nasal Endoscopy
Nasal endoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the nasal passages and sinuses using a thin, flexible camera. It helps identify conditions such as deviated septum, polyps, sinus infections, bleeding points, and tumors. The procedure is quick, safe, and usually performed in the outpatient setting. Nasal endoscopy allows accurate diagnosis and helps plan appropriate medical or surgical treatment. It plays a vital role in modern ENT practice.
Endoscopic Polypectomy
Endoscopic polypectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove nasal polyps using a nasal endoscope. The procedure provides excellent visualization and precise removal of polyps while preserving healthy tissue. It improves nasal airflow, restores sense of smell, and reduces recurrent sinus infections. The surgery is usually performed under anesthesia and does not involve external cuts. Postoperative medical therapy is essential to prevent recurrence and maintain long-term symptom relief.
Septoplasty (Treatment for DNS)
Septoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to correct a deviated nasal septum. The surgery is done through small incisions inside the nose, without external scars. The deviated portion of cartilage or bone is reshaped or removed to straighten the septum. Septoplasty improves nasal breathing, reduces sinus infections, relieves headaches, and improves sleep quality. It is a safe and commonly performed procedure with minimal recovery time. Postoperative care includes nasal hygiene and follow-up visits for optimal healing.
