SMD (Submucous Deviation)

Submucous Deviation (SMD) refers to the deviation of the nasal septum beneath the mucous membrane lining of the nose, which can cause nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing. Surgery for SMD involves correcting this structural anomaly without altering the outer appearance of the nose. By addressing the underlying deviation, this procedure can significantly improve airflow and reduce symptoms of nasal congestion. It is typically performed under general anesthesia, with patients recovering within a few weeks and experiencing improved breathing function.
