Abstract

In spite of continuous history of development and a great variety of classical operation, surgical treatment of nasal septal deformation is one of the up-to-date problems in rhino surgery. The aim of this work was to analyze literature for the last decade, as well as systematization of the given methods of treatment and the review of tendencies in modern surgical methods. The majority of modern methods of surgical nasal septal correction are divided into several large groups (submucous resection, septoplasty both closed and open). The description of some operation techniques, more differentiated from classical submucous resection, is represented in this article. Separately from its way of application, there can be identified operations with the usage of endoscopic, shaver and laser technique, as well as operations with the usage of operating microscope. Summing up, one can see general for all authors’ tendencies, such as maximum preservation of nasal framework, sparing therapy and simplification of operation technique for a surgeon.
