A septoplasty instrument having a pair of opposing articulating longitudinal jaws or blades configured to contact the septum or overlying mucosal lining of a patient when the jaws are closed. A guide tube is connected to at least one of the jaws or blades for guiding a fixation wire into the septum, the guide tube having a bore therein that is generally in line with a longitudinal axis of the blades. The blades flatten and straighten a deviated portion of the septum, and the guide tube of the instrument is used to insert a fixation wire into the septum whilst the blades of the septoplasty instrument compressed. The instrument enables a corporeal approach to internal fixation septoplasty.
