Abstract
Outcome and effect on nasal growth of external septorhinoplasty was evaluated in 32 children. All had septal disease anterior to the nasal spine. In all cases, the cartilaginous septum was totally excised, refashioned, and then reinserted. Sixteen children with follow-up for more than 2 years were identified. Nine children had preoperative and postoperative nasal airflow studies and demonstrated a reduction in total nasal airway resistance, from a mean untreated value of 6.1 cm of water per centimeter per second preoperatively to a mean of 2.5 cm of water per centimeter per second postoperatively. In 10 of these 16 children, six postoperative anthropometric measures and one index were determined, and these measurements were within the range of age- and sex-specific normative data from the Craniofacial Measurements Laboratory at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario.
