The nasal septum is a structure poorly understood and appreciated by the lay public and the nonotolaryngologist--head and neck surgeon alike. Deviation of the caudal portion of the nasal septum may result in nasal obstruction, a crooked nose, and columellar irregularities. The correction of a severely deviated caudal septum is one of the most difficult challenges of the otolaryngologist and facial plastic surgeon. A variety of options are available for correction of mild, to the most severe, deflections. This condition, as with all challenges in medicine, should not be a one size fits all or one surgery fits all situation. The skilled surgeon should understand the multiple options available for surgical correction and tailor fit the procedure to the deformity.
鼻中隔是一个普通大众和非耳鼻喉科——头颈外科医生都了解甚少且重视不足的结构。鼻中隔尾端的偏斜可能导致鼻塞、鼻子歪斜以及鼻小柱不规则。矫正严重偏斜的鼻中隔尾端是耳鼻喉科医生和面部整形外科医生面临的最困难挑战之一。对于轻度至最严重的鼻中隔偏斜，有多种矫正方法可供选择。与医学中的所有挑战一样，这种情况不应是一刀切或一种手术适用于所有情况。技术娴熟的外科医生应了解手术矫正的多种选择，并根据畸形情况量身定制手术方案。
