This whole surgery has been painful and very disruptive of normal life. If it stops my chronic sinus infections and makes breathing easier perhaps it will be worth it in the end. As of now, I can tell you all that I will never have another procedure like this again. I have been unfortunate enough to have passed a kidney stone and I would rank the pain of the sinus procedure right up there with the kidney stone. Be sure a septoplasty and sinus procedure will be worth while before agreeing to undergo the surgery. I’m having my splints out tomorrow and I cant say it is a moment too soon.

Goodness i just had surgery a week and a day ago and had my splints removed today, it was very painful. I think the removal of the splints is the worst part of everything besides getting used to breathing through your mouth. I gotta say ppl who undergo this surgery are brave!! having a paper dry tongue isn't exactly my thing. Good Luck to all !! Hey there just reading about your story.

No anesthetic at all. Just a quick snip of stitch that holds them in place and they come out. Don't be surprised if you start bleeding a little again. And be sure to keep your nasal passage irrigated well for some time. Removal of the splints is very simple. No anesthetic at all.

I agree the hardest part is trying to sleep at night and talking for long periods of time. I do have a question for you. When they removed the spilnts, did they have to numb you or did they just pull them out? Hey,

I just had mine removed today and I couldn't believe how large they were. Sorry yours ended up being painful. This whole week I haven't really had any pain from my procedure (and mine was severely deviated). IF you don't count my doctor being in a bit of a rush to take out the gonzo splints, eek., Hey, found this article looking for an image of the nasal splints they put in after septoplasty.
