A member asked:
Are there newer less invasive options for septoplasty that do not require packing nose after surgery available in the midwest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes. Intranasal suturing with dissolvable sutures can be used. You may have to check around to find an ENT doc who uses this technique.
