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.
小儿鼻科手术应牢记三条原则。1）手术切除不应妨碍鼻腔生长。2）无功能损害的美学缺陷应在青春期结束时矫正。3）当传统治疗无效时，必须建议采用功能性鼻内镜手术（F.E.S.S.），通过部分下鼻甲切除术来确保鼻窦引流和通气，并改善鼻腔通气功能。
