[A septorhinoplastic technique for correction of nasal septum deformation in children].
The authors propose a septorhinoplastic technique for correction of nasal septum deformation in children consisting in creation of a right-angled fragment connected in the upper part with "maternal" tissue due to an uninterrupted cut of the cartilage. The technique was used in surgical treatment of 112 children aged 8-17 years. Most frequent indication for surgical intervention was a defect of nasal respiration. Early and late after the operation the nasal septum was flat without signs of flotation in 103 (92%) patients. Parameters of rhinopneumotaxometry and mucociliary clearance improved significantly. The conclusion is that such correction of the septal defects is sparing and improves function of the operated organ.
