Nasal septum repair, commonly known as septoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at correcting a deviated or crooked nasal septum—the cartilage and bone division between the nostrils. The procedure improves nasal airflow, relieves breathing difficulties, and can alleviate symptoms such as nasal congestion, sinus infections, and snoring. It is typically performed under local or general anesthesia and involves repositioning or removing parts of the septal tissue to restore normal nasal function.
