[Surgical treatment of nasal obstruction in children].

Three principles about pediatric nasal surgery should be borne in mind. 1) Surgical resection may not interfere with nasal growth. 2) Aesthetic defects without functional impairment should be corrected at the end of adolescence. 3) When classical treatments fail, functional endoscopic procedures (F.E.S.S.) intended to ensure drainage and ventilation of the sinuses as well as to improve nasal conductivity, by partial inferior turbinate resection have to be proposed.
