- Recurrent sinus infections or sinusitis linked to obstructed drainage.
- Persistent and troublesome snoring or sleep-disordered breathing.
- Frequent nosebleeds (epistaxis) originating from a deviated septum.

How to prepare
- Complete a thorough ENT evaluation, including a nasal endoscopy and possibly a CT scan.
- Discontinue blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen) as advised by your surgeon, typically 1-2 weeks prior.
- Inform your doctor of all current medications, supplements, and allergies.
- Undergo pre-operative blood tests and a general health assessment.

- Follow fasting instructions (typically no food or drink after midnight) before the surgery.
Risks & possible complications
- Bleeding during or after the procedure, which is usually minor.
- Risk of infection at the surgical site.
- Small chance of a septal perforation (a hole in the septum).
- Temporary numbness in the upper front teeth or nose.
- Persistent nasal congestion or crusting during healing.
- Altered sense of smell, usually temporary.
- Very rare risk of cerebrospinal fluid leak or changes in nasal shape.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Expect nasal packing or splints for 1-3 days to control bleeding and support healing.

Sarah Smith, a 42-year-old elementary school...
Sarah Smith, a 42-year-old elementary school teacher and mother of two, had suffered from chronic nasal congestion for over a decade. Her symptoms included a constant feeling of a blocked nose, difficulty breathing through her right nostril, frequent sinus infections, and snoring that disrupted her sleep and her husband's. She had tried numerous nasal sprays, allergy medications, and even a previous septoplasty, but her breathing never fully improved. A CT scan revealed a significant deviated septum with a prominent bony spur pressing into her nasal passage. Her ENT surgeon, Dr. Evans, recommended a Sub Mucosal Resection (SMR) to remove the obstructive bone and cartilage while preserving the overlying mucous membrane, explaining it offered a better chance for long-term relief with less crusting and a smoother recovery than a full septoplasty. Sarah was anxious about another surgery but desperate for a good night's sleep. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. She experienced significant nasal packing and congestion for the first 48 hours, which was uncomfortable, but the pain was manageable with medication. After the packing was removed, she noticed an immediate, dramatic improvement in her ability to draw air through her right side. Over the next few weeks, as the swelling subsided, her breathing became effortless. The emotional journey was profound: from years of resigned frustration and fatigue to a feeling of liberation and vitality. She could sleep soundly, exercise without gasping, and no longer felt constantly 'stuffy.' She described it as 'getting a part of my life back that I had forgotten was missing.'
