[Combined nose deformities and the restoration of nasal breathing by a surgical method].

Disorders in nasal respiration after posttraumatic combined deformations depend on deformation of the septum, pathological changes in the mucosa, and deformation of the external nose. Restoration of nasal breathing is determined by the type of surgical intervention. The nasal respiratory function recovered in 20 days to 5 months in the majority (47) of patients operated for traumatic combined deformations of the nose with impairment of nasal respiration.
