| | Body piercing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some see the practice as a form of artistic or self-expression, while others choose to be pierced as a form of sexual expression and/or for sexual stimulation or the perceived increase in sexual feeling that certain piercings are thought by some to create. | | | Some regard the practice of piercing or of being pierced as spiritual, sometimes embracing the term "modern primitive", while others deride this approach as insulting, as cultural appropriation, or as faddish. | | | However, this risk is greatly reduced when the piercing is performed by a professional body piercer using best practice piercing techniques, and when appropriate steps are taken during the aftercare period to avoid infection. |

| | Deviated Septum - Lucile Packard Children's Hospital |
| | Septoplasty is a reconstructive plastic surgery performed to correct an improperly formed nasal septum. | | | A deviated septum is an abnormal configuration of the cartilage that divides the two sides of the nasal cavity, which may cause problems with proper breathing or nasal discharge. | | | In addition to correcting a deviated nasal septum, septoplasty may also be performed to correct other problems such as cleft defects that affect the nose and nasal cavity, and a fistula in the maxillary sinuses. |

| | Nasal obstruction is usually caused by a deviated or crocked septum or enlarged tissues (turbinates) within the nose. | | | Nasal obstruction is usually caused by a deviated septum or enlarged turbinate within the nose. | | | The goals of nasal airway surgery include the following: To improve airflow through the nose, to control nosebleeds, to enhance visualization of the inside of the nose, to relieve nasal headaches associated with swelling of the inside of the nose, and to promote drainage of the sinus cavities. |

| | “This vast experience of extracorporeal septoplasty [removal of the septum from the nose for repair] in 2,119 patients spanning 20 years demonstrates that it is an important technique in the armamentariam (armory of techniques) of surgeons for correcting of extensive nasal septal deviations that result from trauma, previous surgery, or congenital anomalies,” the author concludes. | | | A surgical technique that requires the removal, restructure and re-implantation of the nasal septum (the partition of the nose between the nostrils) appears to be a useful option for repairing the hard-to-treat severely deviated septum, according to an article. | | | The nasal septum affects both the appearance and the airway passages of the nose. |

| | Corrective surgery may consist of reconstruction of the nasal septum by repositioning the nasal septal cartilage, thus relieving the nasal obstruction. | | | Deviations of the nasal septum may develop during growth or by trauma due to a fall, a blow to the nose or surgery that further exaggerates the deviation. | | | The nasal septum is the part of the nose that separates the two airways and the nostrils. |

| | Since the nasal septum is critical in providing integrity not only to the cartilaginous dorsum but to the tip as well, it is wise to begin restoration of the nasal framework with reconstruction of the septum. | | | The columella-labial angle is more obtuse when the caudal septum or nasal spine is prominent and more acute when the maxillary teeth protrude. | | | Resection of the posterior caudal septum, rotation and stabilization of the lower lateral cartilages in an inferior direction, and internal and external postoperative nasal splinting can effect sufficient lengthening in many short noses. |

| | Beyond the usual prejudices against piercing, casual onlookers are disturbed by the idea that the piercing goes through the "bone" of the septum, and that it must be excruciatingly painful. | | | Septum piercings are easy to clean--twice a day with either antibacterial soap or EarCare--but it is essential that you do so. | | | This way, you are compensating in the other direction for whatever is happening to it, and keeping the piercing channel from healing crooked. |

| | If your child has a deviated septum, the doctor may wait until your child's nose has finished growing before doing surgery. | | | Call your doctor immediately if your nose is injured and you think your septum may have been knocked out of position. | | | If your deviated septum is causing troublesome nosebleeds, repeated sinus infections or other significant problems, then your primary care doctor will refer you to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) or plastic surgeon for treatment. |

| | Before birth, an opening known as the foramen ovale in the septum allows oxygen from the mother to flow directly from the right to the left atrium, by-passing the lungs which do not function until the moment of birth. | | | The septum pellucidum is a wall of two thin laminae of grey and white matter which extend from the center of the corpus callosum to the fibers of the fornix. | | | Within the nasal cavity, the vomer is located in the low center and forms the thin flat bone of the nasal septum, while two inferior urbinates form the lower sides of the cavity and two palate bones form the floor of the nasal cavity as well as the roof of the mouth. |

| | Here one is looking for the relationship between the normal sinus pathways and the septum itself. | | | Only one doctor said surgery to correct the septum would help. | | | For example, if one visualizes a bony spur of the septum that protrudes directly into the middle meatus between the middle and inferior turbinates after application of a topical decongestant into the nasal passages, then it is reasonable to consider the possibility that the septum itself may be responsible for obstructing the sinus. |

| | Septoplasty is a difficult surgery because caudal deviations are commonly complex deformities of the septal framework and obtaining a completely straight septum proves to be a frustrating task. | | | Septal causes of valvular stenosis, from left to right, are (1) a thickened septum, (2) deflection of the septum, and (3) caudal deviation with an inferior spur. | | | The septum can be overly thick in the valvular area, decreasing the space in it. |
