Abstract
This article discusses the importance of obtaining the correct anatomic location of a nasal obstruction in the pediatric patient, the relative and absolute indications for septoplasty, and surgical techniques. Because disruption of the developing nasal septum can alter craniofacial growth patterns, the current understanding of the effect of septoplasty on craniofacial growth is also discussed.
