Can deviated septum surgery recur?

Deviated septum surgery does not usually recur. Deviated septum surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, under nasal endoscopy, and is able to improve the patient’s symptoms during the procedure, which mainly involves removing the cartilage that curves the septum.The removal of these curved bones or cartilages corrects the structural abnormality of the septum, and does not usually result in recurrence. However, unless certain conditions are present, such as fungal rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps and nasal tumors, which may push the septum again, there is a chance of recurrence. After surgery, the nasal cavity needs to be cleaned with saline to prevent the nasal mucosa from drying out too much and causing bleeding, and also to reduce the edema of the nasal mucosa. If the symptoms related to the preoperative period recur after the surgery for deviated nasal septum, you should go to the hospital in time for a clear diagnosis and standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
