Septal perforation surgery

[Francois870]

Hi Everyone, I need to close a hole in my septum. Apparently this seemingly simple procedure is actually very difficult and fails very often, leaving a bigger hole than the first one. Any advice on how to find the best possible surgeon in Bangkok to perform this procedure? Any help greatly appreciated! So far i've seen Dr Prayuth at Bumrungrad and Dr Songklot at St Louis, both told me to close the hole.

I wouldn't rush it if I was you. I had a colleague who was diagnosed with Interventricular septum after he had several undue diving decompression incidents. It seems that standard decompression norms aren't valid for sufferers of this condition. He limited himself to sub 20 meters dives and still leads a happy life without operation.

He is nto referring to the same thing your friend had. This is a hole in the nasal septum, nto the heart.

 

OP, Prof. Songklot whom you have already consulted would be my choice for this.
