What is the Septum and Deviated Septum

The nasal septum, which is made of cartilage and bone, separates the nasal cavity into two parts. Ideally, these two openings should be equal, with the septum in the center. However, in many people, the septum is slightly off-center, leaning to the left or right

Causes of Snoring

If the septum is deviated, it blocks air passage through the nasal area. This obstruction can tilt in the throat, lower part of the tongue, and soft palate during sleep leading to snoring.

The surgeon can perform septoplasty to correct a deviated septum. It is a surgical intervention. The purpose of this surgery is to facilitate better passage of air inside the nasal facilitate breath and help in the treatment of conditions like snoring. 

During the operation, the surgeon chooses to incise the internal structures of the nose, trim or reconstruct the most appropriate parts of the septum, and then align it in the middle line.
