A second deviated septum can be performed if the septum has been deviated once and has become severely deviated again.
Possible reasons for failure to correct the septum include: intraoperative discovery of septal perforation that cannot be repaired at the same time, intraoperative bleeding that prevents continuation of the surgery, and postoperative complications of nasal trauma after septoplasty that cause septal deviation again.
Clinical symptoms such as nasal congestion, nosebleed or headache have not improved after septal submucosal correction or septal submucosal resection. Examination reveals the presence of septal deviation or bony spines (torus), bony ridges, and in some cases, septal perforation. After ruling out other diseases of the nasal cavity and sinuses, it is still necessary to perform another nasal septum correction.
If the deviated septum is severe after the first operation, you can consult a doctor for a systematic examination to clearly assess the condition and severity of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
