A detailed description of selected steps of the proposed approach is presented together with relevant illustrations.

[Peculiarities of correction of the deflected nasal dorsum and the cartilaginous portion of the septum].

The problem of correction of the deflected nasal dorsum and the septal cartilaginous portion is considered. A step-by-step approach to the elimination of these defects is described in detail. The proposed method takes into account the anatomical features of the deformities and allows their relapse rate to be decreased to 8-10% and thereby a better functional and cosmetic result of the treatment to be achieved.

[Some aspects of correction of nasal tip congenital deformities].

The paper reviews both short- and lon-termed results of conventional methods for the correction of nasal tip congenital deformities: Converse for broad tip correction, Armstrong for long tip and Burian for protruding tip. The revealed disadvantages of the abovementioned methods are summarized. Treatment efficiency proved to be higher when classifying nasal tip deformities in monodeformities and combined ones.

[Clinical efficiency of the use of interferon inductors in surgical patients].

The authors describe their experience in using cycloferon in 27 patients with pyoseptic abdominal pathology. For comparative evaluation of the efficacy of the immunomodulator, they examined 34 patients who received conventional drug therapy. Immunomodulatory therapy was performed, by taking into account the data on the immune status and severity rated by the SIRS and SAPS.
