The result is mainly the difficulty in breathing through the nose, especially during exercise, snoring (with or without sleep apneas), postnasal drip and frequent sinusitis &#8211; sinusitis. The correction (straightening) is done surgically and it is advisable to be performed by an ENT specialist with the appropriate experience and specialization in this surgical procedure, so that the result is both excellent and permanent, for life. The operation is performed with the help of an endoscope, camera, monitor and often a special laser, without &#8220;hammers and chisels&#8221; as in the past. If the procedure is performed with the appropriate method, there is no postoperative pain, no swelling in the nose, no bruising, and no gauze is placed on the nose. As a rule, an overnight stay in the clinic is not required, despite the administration of general anaesthesia. In some cases it is even possible to perform the operation under local anaesthesia or &#8220;drunkenness&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>MD. Konstantinos Sp.
