Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Yes, sometimes the surgery for deviated nasal septum lands up with a perforated septum or a hole in septum. But with the presence of fungus, the difficulty rises.
But, the management of hole in septum begins with size and symptoms caused by it. But in your case, the treatment for fungus should be complete before the septum is touched. Please elaborate your symptoms so that management can be discussed in detail.
