Nasal Airway Surgery & Surgical Instructions

What is nasal airway surgery?

Nasal airway surgery is a group of procedures (septoplasty, turbinectomy) performed to improve nasal breathing. Nasal obstruction is usually caused by a deviated septum or enlarged turbinate within the nose. All surgical procedures have risks and potential complications. Understanding what is involved before, during, and after nasal airway surgery can help patients recover from the surgery as easily as possible.

What are risks and complications of nasal airway surgery?

The surgery will be performed safely and with care in order to obtain the best possible results. Patients have the right to be informed that the surgery may involve risks of unsuccessful results, complications, or injury from both known and unforeseen causes.
