Septoplasty and Treatment of Turbinate Hypertrophy

  • Chapter
International Textbook of Aesthetic Surgery

Abstract

Modern surgery of the nasal septum aims at correcting the deformities of the septum respecting its function (external nose support, regulation of airflow, mucosa support). From the first documented surgery of septum correction in the first half of the nineteenth century, consisting of a perforative demolition of the obstructive septal area, several authors (from Chassaignac to Hartmann to Killian and Cottle [1–6], just to quote some of the most famous names) have gradually improved their surgery techniques till the arrival of modern endoscopic correction techniques [7, 8].
