[Nasal septum perforation non-surgical treatment and preparation for plastic closure: literature review and own experience].

Nasal septum perforations complete elimination is possible only with surgical treatment. However, most of perforation symptoms and clinical manifestations can be reduced with conservative treatments, thus improving the patient's quality of life. This article presents a short review of publications and our own clinical examples of nasal septum perforation conservative treatment methods in children and adults.

[Features of sleependoscopy in children].

Objective: To describe the technique and determine the indications for sleep endoscopy in children.

Material And Methods: This study included 35 children, the average age of 5 years 1 month ± 3 years 4 months (from 1 year 6 months to 14 years 5 months). All children underwent standard polysomnography and sleep endoscopy.

[Features and effectiveness of endoscopic sinus surgery in children].

The concept of modern functional endonasal sinus surgery in the pediatric population is based on sparing, minimally invasive interventions within the middle nasal passage, mainly the ostiomeatal complex, performed taking into account modern knowledge of the physiology of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses, as a result of which normal can be restored as soon as possible aerodynamics in the nasal cavity; respiratory and other functions of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinus are restored. The article presents the history, modern principles and indications for pediatric sinus surgery. The features of preparation, management of the postoperative period and the effectiveness of sinus surgery in the age aspect are described.

Cross-septal returned flap: modified endoscopic technique for bilateral closure of septal perforation.

Endoscopic approaches for septal perforation closure have achieved a certain popularity. Many of the flaps described provide unilateral closure of the perforation. Thus, complete restoration of the normal multilayer septal anatomy is still challenging, particularly in children.

Endoscopic repair of septal perforation in children.

Objective: Being increasingly faced with the problem of pediatric nasal septal perforations, we have found that the surgical management of nasal septal perforations in children is not widely described in the litrature. The objective of our study was to demonstrate the results of different surgical techniques, including two original endoscopic techniques, in the septal perforation repair in children.

Methods: 24 children, ranging between 6 and 17 years of age, with nasal septal perforations were operated using different endoscopic techniques from February 2015 to May 2019 at the special tertiary referral clinic.
