[Mini-septoplasty--for function and form].
1990
: Septoplasty often provokes aesthetic and unaesthetic sequelae of the anterior third and the tip of the nose. In a retrospective study of 100 patients these changes and sequelae have been analysed preoperatively and six months postoperatively. The postoperative changes are systematically referred to the surgical steps described in the operation notes. The dynamics of sculpturing the anterior border of the quadrangular cartilage, the effects of septal realignment, the influence on the tip support structures are outlined. The importance of minimum surgical touch is stressed. Examples of aesthetic and unaesthetic sequelae caused by functional septoplasty are presented.
