title: [A method of reconstructive surgery in persistent nasal scoliosis].
abstract: The author proposes a novel method of reconstructive surgery in persistent nasal scoliosis. The device for conduction of the proposed technique has been developed. From 1976 to 2006 this surgical method was used in 627 patients aged 14-65 years. Of them, 43 patients had clinical manifestations of acute or chronic sinusitis. The reconstructive operation was performed after arrest of sinus inflammation. One-stage functional operations on the paranasal sinuses were made in 27 patients with sinusitis. The author emphasizes low traumatism, blood loss, duration of the proposed operation as well as the absence of serious complications and positive functional and cosmetic results. The method can be easily mastered by otorhinolaryngologists with experience in rhinological operations.
