METHOD OF ELIMINATING CURVATURE OF THE SEPTUM OF THE NOSE WITH HELP OF MUCOSAL PLASTY Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B17/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to otorhinolaryngology and reconstructive surgery, and can be used in operations on the nasal septum. Cut is made along the caudal margin of the quadrangular cartilage. Carry out separation of the mucosa from both sides of the septum of the nose. Dissect the quadrangular cartilage in the dorsal region throughout its entire length. Carry a cut of cartilage in the cranial region, receding 3–4 mm from the caudal margin of the perpendicular plate. Mobilize the quadrangular cartilage. Remove the curved sections of the septum of the nose. And after removing the curved sections of the septum of the nose, the excess mucosa formed from the convex side of the former curvature is determined. To do this, the excised mucosa from the convex side of the former curvature of the septum of the nose is caught in the region of its edge and pulled up in the forward direction towards the pear-shaped aperture of the nose. Definite excess of the mucosa is excised and its edge fixed by two U-shaped sutures to the quadrangular cartilage.

EFFECT: method ensures tight fit of the mucosa to the cartilage backbone in the postoperative period, it avoids flotation of the mucosa, create conditions for the expansion of the common nasal passage and effectively restore nasal breathing by pulling up excess mucosa in the front and excising its excess.
