Hi doctor, I recently had a graft on my nasal septum, due to a large ulceration on the left wall if it. Tissue was taken from one of my turbinates and stitched onto my septum. But, I know that I have a splint sutured into my nose. This is the problem. They whistle when I breathe and one of the stitches hangs free and blocks the air passage of the left splint. I do not know how to ask them to get it removed. I positively cannot stand the whistling. It prevents me from sleeping and distracts me in school. Please help.
Hello. With the details you have given, I understand a graft taken from nasal turbinate has been placed onto nasal septum to cover ulceration. Also post-operatively to prevent bleeding and to keep the graft over the desired area a splint has been placed. For further doubts consult an ENT otolaryngologist online -->
