Nasal Surgeries
Nose Surgeon in Whitefield, Bangalore | Dr. Anitha Kumari A.M.
Nasal surgeries are medical or cosmetic procedures performed on the nose to correct structural problems, improve breathing, or enhance appearance. They may be carried out for functional reasons—such as correcting a deviated septum, removing obstructions, or treating chronic sinus issues, or for aesthetic reasons, such as reshaping the nose to achieve facial balance. These procedures can be performed using traditional open techniques or minimally invasive endoscopic methods, depending on the condition and desired outcome. Advances in surgical tools and imaging have greatly improved precision, safety, and recovery times.
- Commonly Done Nasal Surgeries
- Septoplasty –Nasal partition wall (the Septum) correction called Septoplasty is a procedure that has stood the test of time. The technique have evolved over the years with technology and advance in our knowledge of physiology. If done for appropriate indication the outcome Will be excellent
- Turbinate Reduction – Turbinates are cushions on the side walls of the nose. Procedures on the same have to be done with care.
- Endoscopic Sinus Surgeries– These are done for sinusitis, polyposis and other tumours in the nose and paranasal sinuses
- Endoscopic Nasal Surgeries – This approach is also sought for skull base procedures like cerebrospinal fluid leaks, lacrimal sac diseases, lesions in the orbit , pituitary gland lesions and other skull base lesions.
- Rhinoplasty –This surgery is for reshaping of the nose for functional or cosmetic purposes. Such surgeries are led by a Plastic Surgeon and my role will be to correct the Septum.
- Comprehensive Assessment –The initial assessment will involve history detailing, physical examination along with procedures such as anterior rhinoscopy, nasal endoscopy and other investigations such as CT scans, sleep studies etc., if required.
- Clear Indications & Individualized Planning – Plan surgery based on anatomical findings, severity of symptoms, and patient goals. If the assessment is that medical management will suffice, priority will be take such protocol and avoid unnecessary surgery.
- Patient Counselling – I will explain the diagnosis, available options (medical vs surgical), expected outcomes, risks, and limitations to patient and their close relatives/bystanders. This process is to enable a joint decision making and set realistic expectations of the process, expected outcome and recovery timelines. I respect patient autonomy, but guide their decisions with medical judgment.
- Choosing Surgical Technique – I normally choose the least invasive yet effective technique, where possible, maintain physiology as much as possible by avoiding excessive resection and prioritize functional improvement.
- Multidisciplinary Approach–If needed, I involve and collaborate with Pulmonologists, Neurosurgeon, Oncosurgeons, Oculoplastic Surgeons or Plastic Surgeon when conditions are complex or involves their expertise.
- Postoperative Care & Follow-Up–I provide clear instructions on post-surgery protocols the patients should follow. Post operative recovery is monitored regularly and patient is advised any change in protocol.
