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. Because individuals differ in their response to surgery, their anesthetic reactions, and their healing outcomes, ultimately there can be no guarantee made as to the results or potential complications. Furthermore, surgical outcomes may be dependent on preexisting or concurrent medical conditions.

The following complications have been reported in the medical literature. This list is not meant to be inclusive of every possible complication. They are listed here for information only, not to frighten patients, but to make them aware and more knowledgeable concerning this surgical procedure. Although many of these complications are rare, all have occurred at one time or another in the hands of experienced surgeons practicing the standard of community care. Anyone who is contemplating surgery must weigh the potential risks and complications against the potential benefits of the surgery, or any alternative to surgery.

1. Nasal obstruction due to failure to straighten the septum or later re-deviation of the septum, or the re- growth or swelling of the turbinates.

2. Failure to resolve coexi...

In rare occasions, chronic cough may be the result of aspiration of foreign objects into the lungs (usually in children). It is very important to see a doctor who may order a chest X-ray if a chronic cough is present. The following are common causes of chronic coughing.
