Summary
Introduction. Child nasal septum operation is a method implemented in clinical practice in the 1950s. Its performance in
Poland started in 1979. To date, over 3000 such operations have been performed and analysed in the Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of the Medical University of Warsaw.
Aim. To perform an analysis of patients operated on because of deviation of the nasal septum during 1995-2009, chosen at random. The aim of the paper is to determine the clinical results of nasal septum operations in developmental age.
Material and methods. The study included children operated on for deviation of the nasal septum in the Paediatric Otorhinolaryngology Clinic of the Medical University of Warsaw during 1995-2009. The patients were evaluated on the basis of precise medical history, laryngological examination and anterior rhinomanometry.
Results. In the majority of patients we gained an improvement of the clinical picture.
Discussion. Our research indicates that results of septoplasty include proper nasal patency and general normal development of the treated child.
Conclusions. Septoplasty in children gives good clinical and laboratory results.
