title: [The classification of combined deformities of the nose].
abstract: A classification of deformations of the nose is proposed. All deformations are classified into 5 degrees: I) deformations involving one compartment of the nose, II) two compartments, III) three compartments, IV and V) combined deformations involving more than 4 compartments. This classification helps the physician to be better oriented in the great variety of combined deformations of the nose and permits a more accurate planning of the steps of surgery. This classification is not a final or exhausting, it is merely an attempt to present a scheme of the great variety of combined deformations of the nose and attract the attention of specialists to development of better classifications needed by practical medicine.
