I'm trying to get some information about what my options are for dealing with a deviated nasal septum. Could you explain what the surgery involves, any potential complications, and how long the recovery typically takes? I'm a bit concerned and would really appreciate some clarity on this.

The latest procedure is an Endoscopic Nasal Surgery which can be done as a daycare procedure. Advantages include breathing nasally immediately after surgery( no packsbandages to nose), no enlargement of structure of nose externally, no complications like septal synaechaeseptal perforationseptal saddlingseptal abscess! Costs a bit more than conventional septoplasty surgery but for all these advantages... Well worth the premium costing!

What's the success rate for surgery on an elongated styloid process compared to non-surgical treatments? I've been dealing with pain and wondering if surgery is worth it or if other options might work better

Even though some literature suggests that Eagle Syndrome can be successfully treated by non-surgical treatment, studies show that the cure rate of conservative Eagle Syndrome treatment is only 64.3%, compared to styloidectomy which has a cure rate of 91.8%.

My throat's been making this strange cracking sound whenever I hold it and move it a bit to the side. I've also been dealing with some acidity issues that sometimes lead to heavy vomiting. It feels like there's a bone-like blockage in my throat, and when I vomit like this, it sometimes causes bleeding in my throat. Can someone please help me figure out what's going on with me?
