[Therapy of ozena].
This paper reports on surgical therapy of ozena. Hydroxylapatite was implanted under the mucosa of the nasal septum and the floor of the nasal cavity in four patients with ozena. In five patients the nostrils were totally closed by the method of Young. After a period of 2 to 5 years, the clinical results in both groups enable us to recommend both surgical procedures.
