Deviated septum Treatment in Dr. Mustafa Çakır – Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) & Rhinoplasty Specialist
About the clinic
Deviated septum treatment at the clinic of Dr. Mustafa Çakır in Istanbul, Turkey, focuses on restoring nasal airflow through precise surgical techniques. Dr. Mustafa Çakır is a board-certified ENT specialist with over 5 years of experience in functional nasal surgery. The clinic operates within the JCI-accredited Medipol Mega University Hospital, which holds HIMSS Stage 6 digital infrastructure certification.
Diagnostic process for deviated septum
The diagnostic phase identifies the exact cause of breathing difficulties and the degree of septal deviation. The specialist uses specific tools to visualize the internal structures of the nose. Patients usually undergo the following steps:
- ENT consultation. Dr. Mustafa Çakır performs a physical examination and reviews the patient's medical history.
- Nasal endoscopy. A thin tube with a camera shows the internal nasal passages on a monitor.
- CT scan. This imaging is used if the doctor needs to check for sinus involvement or complex bone structures.
Surgical treatment options
Dr. Mustafa Çakır specializes in endoscopic correction techniques that involve internal incisions. This method prevents external scarring and focuses on the underlying bone and cartilage. The clinic offers several approaches based on the patient's specific needs:
- Septoplasty. The surgeon straightens the cartilage and bone between the nostrils to improve airflow. It usually requires a stay of one night or less.
- Septoplasty with turbinate reduction. This procedure shrinks enlarged tissues inside the nose alongside the septal correction. It provides maximal improvement for patients with chronic congestion.
- Septoplasty with endoscopic sinus surgery. This combined surgery treats both a deviated septum and chronic sinusitis. It opens blocked sinus drainage pathways in a single session.
Recovery and hospital stay
Most patients spend one night in the hospital or return to their hotel the same day. Dr. Mustafa Çakır uses silicone splints to support the nose during initial healing. These splints are typically removed within 3 to 7 days after the procedure. While full healing takes several weeks, patients often notice improved breathing shortly after the splints are out. The clinic also helps with airport transfers and hotel coordination for international patients traveling to Istanbul.

Dr. Mustafa Çakır – Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) & Rhinoplasty Specialist: more details about the clinic
Dr. Mustafa Çakır runs a specialized ENT and rhinoplasty clinic in Istanbul, Türkiye. Established in 1951, the practice operates across nine buildings in the city. The clinic combines functional medical goals with a natural aesthetic approach for facial surgeries.
Accreditations and Hospital Affiliations
Treatment takes place at Medipol Mega University Hospital. This facility follows a quality management system aligned with JCI standards and Turkish Ministry of Health requirements. The hospital earned JCI accreditation in 2014.
The facility also holds the HIMSS Stage 6 certificate for its integrated electronic infrastructure. This digital system coordinates medical data and patient safety throughout treatment.
Nose and Sinus Surgery
Dr. Mustafa Çakır, an otolaryngologist with 10 years of experience, leads the rhinoplasty department. He graduated from Istanbul University Cerrahpaşa Faculty of Medicine. The practice offers both open and closed rhinoplasty techniques based on individual facial anatomy.
Surgeons use cartilage grafts for structural support when needed. Sources include:
- Septal cartilage from the patient's nose
- Ear cartilage for supplemental support
- Rib cartilage for complex revision cases
For patients with sinus disease, the clinic performs endoscopic sinus surgery. Diagnostics include nasal endoscopy to assess polyps, swelling, and drainage pathways. CT scans identify specific blocked areas before surgery.
Ear and Balance Disorders
The clinic treats structural ear issues and hearing loss through several surgical methods. One primary procedure is tympanoplasty, which repairs a ruptured eardrum. Surgeons typically make a small incision inside the ear canal or behind the ear.
Specialists use biological grafts to close eardrum holes:
- Fascia from the ear muscles
- Tragus cartilage
- Concha cartilage
Tympanoplasty is performed under general anesthesia. Most patients go home the same day or after one night. The clinic also provides vertigo treatment for inner ear conditions such as Meniere's disease.
Throat and Pediatric ENT
Pediatric care includes surgical solutions for enlarged adenoids and tonsils. Specialists perform adenoidectomy and tonsillectomy for children with sleep apnea or chronic infections. A combined procedure is available when both tissues cause obstruction.
Pre-operative evaluation involves assessing breathing patterns and fever frequency. Surgeons use small endoscopes to determine the exact size of adenoid tissue. Children generally recover faster than adults after these procedures.
Specialized Equipment and Technology
The practice uses modern diagnostic tools to plan complex facial and ENT surgeries. Nasal endoscopy and otoscopy allow real-time visualization of internal structures. These imaging technologies help surgeons identify narrow airway passages and septal deviations.
All surgical interventions take place in modern operating rooms with dedicated post-operative monitoring. Diagnostic imaging, including sinus CT scans, is integrated into pre-surgical planning.
International Patient Services
The clinic offers a structured medical tourism pathway for patients from abroad. An international patient team assists with logistical planning and scheduling. Support is available in English.
International services include:
- Airport pickup and transfers
- Hotel accommodation options
