[Comparative evaluation of x-ray pictures in septorhinosurgery].
The present trend to objectify the changes resulting from modern surgical procedures on the nasal pyramid, which are primarily functional, the aesthetic aspects being only secondary, has encouraged us to attempt to define these changes by means of measurements of specific angles and distances on the roentgenograms. It has been confirmed that it is possible to do this from antero-posterior radiographs of the sinus as well radiographs of the profile of the nasal bones. The study covers 126 patients and the tabulation reflects the type and method of the operation undertaken. We consider our results to be interesting, particularly as we have added a further objective method, which is available to all, needs no expensive apparatus and makes possible a comparison of the evaluations both before and after the operation, to the small number of existing objective methods. At the end of the study we stress that this method is ideal and a welcome supplement to the existing methods, although it is not sufficient on its own.
