Endoscopic Septoplasty

What is Endoscopic Septoplasty?

Endoscopic Septoplasty is the most advanced technology developed to remove the deviated part of the nasal septum. The nasal obstruction being caused by the septal deviation is treated with the help of Septoplasty. The procedure of the surgery involves the use of a long thin tube with a lens and instruments attached at one end, called an endoscope to repair a crooked or deviated septum. With the help of the endoscope, we can correct a deviated septum without making incisions on your face.

Why would you need an Endoscopic DCR Surgery?

If you have been suffering from the following symptoms:

  • Watery eye
  • Continuous sticky discharge from your eye
  • Pain and swelling in the inside corner of your eye
  • Blurred vision
  • Crust formation on the eye
  • Irritated, red appearance of the eye
  • Repeated eye infections like conjunctivitis
  • A lump growing between your eye and nose because of a painfully infected tear sac

It would mean that you have a blocked tear drain; the blockage may be partial or complete. A blocked tear drainage system could be due to repeated eye infections, trauma or injury to the area, foreign particles entering your eye, or even nasal polyps.

Your Family doctor would have referred you to an eye specialist who would recommend you to book a consultation with us. If you go to an eye specialist first, they would also refer you to us.

Diagnosis

When you come in for a consultation after being referred by your eye specialist, we will conduct a few tests to make a positive diagnosis:

  • Tear drainage test – to check how quickly your tears drain. We place a drop of special dye on your eye surface – if after five minutes, most of the dye is still on your eye surface, you could have a blocked tear duct.
  • Irrigation and Probing – involves flushing a saline solution through your tear drainage system to check the efficiency of the graining. Another thing we may try is inserting a probe through the tiny drainage holes at the corner of your eyelid to see if it is blocked.
  • Eye Imaging Tests – involves passing a contrast dye from the drainage holes through the tear drainage system; after this, X-Rays, CT scan or MRIs may be used to identify the reason and location of the blockage.
After we have a confirmed diagnosis, we may recommend medication, massage, or other treatment options, which will be thoroughly discussed with you. We may either suggest surgery right away, or a wait and watch approach; if medication, massage, dilation, or stenting do not have the desired effect, then surgery could be your best option.

How is the Surgery Performed?

An endoscope is introduced into your nose, and the nasolacrimal duct (NLD) is exposed by removing the bony encasement and open up the NLD upto the site of block and clear all disease and marsupializing the NLD to prevent recurrence.
