Septal hematoma or septal abscess drainage is a surgical procedure performed to remove collected blood or infected pus from the nasal septum, usually following nasal trauma or infection. If left untreated, a septal hematoma or abscess can lead to cartilage damage, nasal deformity, breathing difficulty, and serious infections. Timely surgical drainage is essential to preserve nasal structure and function. At our ENT hospital, this procedure is performed under controlled conditions using precise techniques to ensure complete evacuation and prevent complications.
This procedure is recommended for patients experiencing nasal blockage after injury, severe nasal pain, swelling inside the nose, fever, or signs of infection following trauma or surgery. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention help prevent long-term nasal deformities and septal perforation. Our ENT specialists conduct a thorough nasal examination and imaging when required to plan safe and effective treatment.

Antral drainage is a surgical procedure used to drain infected fluid or pus from the maxillary sinus when sinus infections do not respond to medications.
