title: [The deviated nose. Classification and treatment. Apropos of 100 cases].
abstract: We present a series of 100 deviated noses treated over 5-year period. A classification into four groups was proposed and used to determine preoperative strategy according to the type of deformation. The main corrective methods were lateral cartilage grafts for C-shaped noses and removal and reinstallation of the nasal cartilage for S-shaped nose and "lay down" noses. The best results were obtained for trauma-induced deformations occurring after puberty. Lay-down nose were more difficult to treat than C- and S-shaped noses. Good results can be expected in 80% of the cases. Good nasal flow was obtained in 90% of the patients and secondary surgery was successful in the other 10%.
