Septal reconstruction has many needs and usages. Nowadays, people are very concerned about looking and would like to correct them. Septal reconstruction has been immensely used in the field of cosmetics. A successful septoplasty would lead us to know about the pathology of the septum by which we can avoid further complications. It would be further significant in nasal obstruction or difficulty in breathing. Deviation of the nasal septum can also be corrected by septal   reconstruction by various techniques used for septoplasty. Complete septal reconstruction is the best method for extreme S-shaped and wave-like deviations or multiple fractures. The septoplasty is performed endonasal for caudal septal deviation. Traction sutures to rectify the caudal septum deviation is another type of surgery. Septoplasty usually opens the way for all other rhinoplasty procedures, as a straight, stable septum reflects the attractiveness and functionality of the nose. The patient's history and the surgeon's expertise play a favorable outcome. In conjunction with other nose procedures, such as cosmetic rhinoplasty and endoscopic sinus surgery, Septoplasty is frequently done to alleviate nasal airway obstruction or headaches induced by rhinology irritation produced by touch. Endoscopic septoplasty requires the same amount of time and delivers equal, if not better, results than previous procedures. Visualization is vastly improved by endoscopic technology. Isolated deviation, spurs, perforations, and contact sites are examples of distinct septal disorders that can be treated individually using this procedure. In this review article, the importance of traction sutures is mentioned. The article gives us an idea about Septoplasty and how it can be achieved, its complications, risk factors, and a few postoperative points.

The nasal septum cartilage is a specialized hyaline cartilage important for normal midfacial growth. Abnormal midfacial growth is associated with midfacial hypoplasia and nasal septum deviation (NSD). However, the underlying genetics and associated functional consequences of these two anomalies are poorly understood. We have previously shown that loss of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7 (BMP7) from neural crest (BMP7ncko) leads to midfacial hypoplasia and subsequent septum deviation. In this study we elucidate the cellular and molecular abnormalities underlying NSD using comparative gene expression, quantitative proteomics, and immunofluorescence analysis. We show that reduced cartilage growth and septum deviation are associated with acquisition of elastic cartilage markers and share similarities with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. The genetic reduction of BMP2 in BMP7ncko mice was sufficient to rescue NSD and suppress elastic cartilage markers. To our knowledge this investigation provides the first genetic example of an in vivo cartilage fate switch showing that this is controlled by the relative balance of BMP2 and BMP7. Cellular and molecular changes similar between NSD and knee OA suggest a related etiology underlying these cartilage abnormalities.
