Management of Pediatric Nasal Surgery (Rhinoplasty)

Abstract

Nasal surgery in children, most often performed after trauma, can be performed safely in selected patients with articulate, deliberate, and conscientious operative plan. All nasal surgery in children seeks to avoid disruption of the growth centers, preserving and optimizing nasal growth while improving the form and function of the nose. A solid appreciation of long-term outcomes and effects on growth remain elusive.
