Some of the most common procedures we perform in-house or at our outpatient surgery center include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Septoplasty&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These procedures reshape, reduce or reposition portions of the septum\u2019s bone or cartilage to open up the nasal passageway and improve drainage and breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turbinate Surgery&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Turbinate surgery reduces airway obstruction and breathing difficulties that result from enlarged or swollen turbinates. Turbinates are long ridges on the inside wall of your nose that clean and humidify air as it passes through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple types of turbinate surgery\u2014most reduce the size of the turbinate to improve airflow. The most commonly performed turbinate surgeries are turbinate reduction and turbinate outfracture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turbinate Reduction:<\/strong> In this procedure, the surgeon uses an instrument to penetrate the turbinate lining to remove some of the underlying soft tissue and bone. This decreases the size of the turbinate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Turbinate Outfracture:<\/strong> This surgery pushes the turbinate bone further to the side so that air has more space to flow through the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Call Midwest ENT Centre at <a href=\"tel:+16364413100\" class=\"phone \"><span class=\"phone-number\">(636) 441-3100<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many problems that occur in the nose are temporary and easily treated with medication.
