Septoplasty: Deviated nasal septum can result in nasal airway obstruction that can cause snorring, sore throat and discomfort in long running. Correction entails septoplasty, which is removal of the obstructing segment of the septum - so called - septoplasty. Very often, nasal obstruction involves also turbinate hypertrophy. This necessitate partial turbinectomy. Otherwise, the airway can still be obstructed.

Septoplasty: A nasal septum repair can be either a surgery to straighten a deviated or crooked nasal septum to improve breathing or a surgery to repair a hole in the septum. Septoplasty fixes a crooked septum to open the nasal airways and a septal perforation repair closes any holes in the septum that may be crusting, causing whistling or nasal obstruction.
