Correction of a deviated nasal septum.
Before your appointment
The ENT surgeon assesses the cause of obstruction and treatment alternatives. Clarify whether turbinate or external nasal surgery is also planned.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Operating time and admission depend on the septal correction and any combined surgery.
- Hospital stay
- Often arranged as day surgery, with observation before discharge. Some patients need an overnight stay; confirm an escort, local support and the centre’s discharge criteria.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan for preoperative assessment, one operation attendance or admission, and postoperative review. These are three planning stages, not a guaranteed total of three visits: tests, wound care or staged treatment may add appointments.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Nasal blockage can persist during early healing. Ask about splint removal, bleeding precautions, nose care and the timing of review and travel.
