You met get more info about 'surgery' type questions over on the non-CPAP forum.

I'm not a doctor, but... Defects in your nasal breathing can make it more difficult for CPAP to work. Many people that get their septum fixed say things like 'I never knew how poorly I breathed until I got my septum fixed and started breathing well' and 'Getting my nasal breathing fixed made CPAP so much easier to use. The pressure I needed was lower and mouth breathing issues went away.'

Don't take my word for it, though. I encourage you to visit the non-CPAP Options Forums (Currently at # 13).
