title: Functional aspects in septal plasty.
abstract: Some remarks are made about the statical and dynamical function of the septum. Septum corrections should be carried out according to the complaints and to the clinical findings in the nose. Septum surgery can never be a routine procedure like the classical submucous resection. The pathological symptoms are outlined related to deformities in different septal areas.
