What Is Nasal Structure & Airway Surgery?
Nasal structure and airway surgery encompasses advanced surgical techniques designed to correct anatomical abnormalities and structural defects of the nasal septum, nasal passages, and related airway structures that obstruct breathing and compromise quality of life. Using state-of-the-art endoscopic technology and precision surgical instruments, Mr Acharya performs targeted procedures through the nostrils, without external incisions. This minimally invasive approach provides enhanced visualisation of the nasal anatomy, allowing for precise correction of structural problems whilst preserving healthy tissue and maintaining natural nasal function. The result is significantly improved nasal airflow, reduced breathing obstruction, better sleep quality, enhanced athletic performance, and faster return to normal activities compared to traditional surgical methods. Whether addressing a longstanding deviated septum, repairing a septal perforation from prior trauma or instrumentation, reducing enlarged turbinates, or reconstructing post-traumatic nasal deformity, Mr Acharya tailors each procedure to your individual anatomy and goals.
Conditions Treated with Nasal Structure & Airway Surgery
Mr Vikas Acharya uses advanced rhinological and endoscopic techniques to treat a comprehensive range of nasal structural and airway conditions, including:
Deviated Nasal Septum (Septal Deviation) Surgical correction of the cartilage and bone dividing the nasal passages to improve airflow, reduce nasal obstruction, alleviate breathing difficulties, and enhance sleep quality.
Septoplasty Surgical straightening and repositioning of the nasal septum to eliminate nasal airway obstruction, reduce snoring, and restore comfortable nasal breathing.
Septal Perforation Repair Advanced endoscopic repair of holes or defects in the nasal septum caused by trauma, prior surgery, or instrumentation, using precision techniques to restore normal airflow and prevent infection and crusting complications.
Functional Septorhinoplasty Combined surgical correction of the nasal septum and external nasal structure to simultaneously improve breathing function and address aesthetic concerns, providing both functional and cosmetic improvement.
Turbinate Reduction and Remodelling Surgical reduction of enlarged turbinate tissue causing nasal obstruction and breathing difficulties, using gentle techniques that preserve turbinate function whilst improving airflow.
Nasal Valve Collapse Repair Reconstruction of weakened or collapsed nasal valve structures causing significant breathing obstruction, particularly noticeable during exercise, sleep, or vigorous activity.
Post-Traumatic Nasal Deformity Comprehensive assessment and surgical correction of nasal structural damage resulting from facial trauma, including fractures, displacement, and functional impairment.
Internal Nasal Valve Stenosis Surgical correction of internal nasal valve narrowing causing airway obstruction and breathing difficulties, using endoscopic reconstruction techniques.
External Nasal Valve Dysfunction Repair of external nasal valve abnormalities causing collapsed or obstructed airflow, particularly during inspiration or exertion.
Nasal Polyp-Related Obstruction Removal of benign nasal and sinus polyps causing persistent airway obstruction when medical management is insufficient.
Rhinitis-Related Turbinate Hypertrophy Surgical management of enlarged turbinates secondary to chronic allergic or non-allergic rhinitis causing persistent nasal obstruction despite medical therapy.
Snoring and Sleep-Disordered Breathing Surgical correction of nasal structural abnormalities contributing to snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea, improving sleep quality and overall health outcomes.
Post-Operative Nasal Adhesions and Stenosis Revision procedures to treat scarring and stenosis following prior nasal or sinus surgery, restoring normal nasal airway patency.
