title: [Septoplasty in the children].
abstract: The objective of the present study was to improve the effectiveness of surgical intervention for the correction of the deflected nasal septum in the children. The clinical evaluation of the state of 63 patients and the follow-up study demonstrated that the early removal of the pack from the nasal cavity improves the patients' quality of life in the postoperative period and leads to as favourable outcome as the late removal. The application of still mineral water (a weakly alkaline sodium bicarbonate solution) for the irrigation or moistening of the nasal cavity mucosa promoted its rapid regeneration and wound healing.
