The external or open septorhinoplasty is used in children as young as 6 years of age. The primary indication for this procedure is the presence of nasal septal pathology anterior to the anterior nasal spine causing significant nasal airway obstruction. Meticulous attention to technique, especially the construction of a "new" septum, is essential for a successful outcome.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed a significant improvement in nasal breathing, with NOSE scores decreasing from 72 preoperatively to 22 postoperatively (p-value < 0.05).
- * Post-surgery evaluations indicated that 76% of patients had a straight septum, and overall patient satisfaction was high, with 52% reporting "much improved" conditions.
Skeletal and Soft Tissue Surgeries in the Long-term Management of Patients With Syndromic Craniosynostosis: A 20-Year Review.
Ann Plast Surg
October 2024
Division of Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the importance of secondary soft tissue surgeries for improving facial appearance in patients with syndromic craniosynostosis, highlighting that such procedures are often overlooked in medical literature.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective review of 106 patients treated at a children's hospital from 2003 to 2023, assessing both skeletal and soft tissue surgeries.
- The findings revealed that a high percentage of patients underwent soft tissue procedures (95.3%), with significant correlations between previous skeletal surgeries and the likelihood of needing additional soft tissue interventions.

"Should Pediatric Septal Surgery and Septorhinoplasty Be Performed for Nasal Obstruction?"-A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Corrective septal surgery for children with nasal obstruction has historically been avoided due to concern about the impact on the growing nose, with disruption of midfacial growth. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating complication and revision rates post-nasal septal surgery in the pediatric population. In addition, there is evidence to suggest that failure to treat nasal obstruction in children may itself result in facial deformity and/or developmental delay.
