title: [Current surgery of the nasal septum].
abstract: Rhinoseptoplasty, septoplasty in particular, is among the most commonly used operations in otorhinolaryngology. So far, over a long period of time, a variety of operative procedures successful for their time have been developed. The present report deals with a total of 4700 patients, operated on over an 18-year period (1977 through 1994). Pertinent physiological and anatomical data concerning the nasal septum are briefly outlined. A number of operative methods are analyzed. Proceeding from the postoperative results, preference is given to Cottle's procedure.
