OPERATION NOTE: SEPTOPLASTY
Surgeon: Dr. Eleanor Vance
Anaesthetist: Dr. Ben Carter
Septoplasty:
- A hemitransfixion incision was made on the right side of the septum.
- Significant deviation of the septum was noted, primarily affecting the left nasal passage, with a C-shaped curvature.
- Bilateral mucoperichondrial flaps were raised, providing excellent exposure of the cartilaginous and bony septum.
- The inferior rim was excised, approximately 1.5 cm in length, to correct the deviation.
- A prominent inferior spur was identified on the left side, significantly obstructing the nasal cavity.
- The caudal septum was carefully assessed, and its relationship to the anterior nasal spine was noted to be slightly deviated.
- The septal turbinate was excised due to its hypertrophy and contribution to nasal obstruction.

(Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, and plan for continuing care - use only the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note as a reference for the information included in your note. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned in the transcript, contextual notes or clinical note, you must not state the information has not been explicitly mentioned in your output, just leave the relevant placeholder or omit the placeholder completely.) (Use as many lines, paragraphs or bullet points, depending on the format, as needed to capture all the relevant information from the transcript.)
