Yes, any septal deviation can be addressed at the same time as sinus surgery. It is important that the septum is straight to allow excellent drainage through the sinuses and airflow in the nasal passageways. If the inferior turbinates are enlarged and causing decreased airflow, submucous resection can be performed at the same time.
