Preparing for the intervention
Before surgery, diagnostics are carried out on the nasal valves. This ensures the safety of the procedure and reduces the likelihood of complications.
In particular, the doctor refers the patient to:
- Laboratory tests (blood and urine tests, determination of blood group and Rh factor).
- Instrumental diagnostics (CT and ECG).
In addition, it is necessary to obtain a conclusion from the therapist that there are no obstacles to the operation.
Types of surgery
The main goal of the operation is to increase the space for air inside the nose. To do this, a specialist installs grafts.
An alternative to classical surgery is laser correction. It is minimally traumatic and helps to get rid of nasal congestion forever. The intervention takes about 30 minutes and does not require nasal packing.
Types of surgical intervention are:
- Expanding These rectangular inserts are made from cartilage from the patient's nasal septum or ear. They are placed in a specially created pocket inside the nose.
- Wing rack and pinion These grafts are used to strengthen weak parts of the nose. They are also made from cartilage and are placed in such a way as to provide better support to the structures inside the nose.
Features of rehabilitation
In the first time after the intervention, patients complain of dry mouth. To get rid of discomfort, it is recommended to drink a lot of boiled water at room temperature. You can eat normally, but you should avoid too hot and spicy foods.
Tampons are removed on the second day after surgery. After this, the person must:
- Regularly clean your nose of crusts and blood clots
- Instill saline solution into the nose (at least 4 times a day)
- Spray the nasal cavity with sea salt solutions
This helps prevent the risk of infections and speed up recovery.
To achieve the best effect in the first 3-4 weeks after surgery, you should refrain from wearing glasses, intense sports and physical activity, as well as visiting the beach, sauna and solarium. During this period, it is also not recommended to sleep on your stomach. If any alarming symptoms appear (these should include severe pain and bloody discharge from the nose), you should immediately seek help from the surgeon who performed the operation. The result of the intervention becomes noticeable after about 3 months.
