Abstract:
Nose and nasal cavity provide ventilation, inspired air conditioning and olfaction. They may be the seat of inflammatory, infectious and malignant disease, or preoperative or postoperative architectural abnormalities, altering these functions, for which clinical examination will be a variable return. First of all, we'll see, after a brief physiological reminder, descrambling examination which allows non-ENT surgeon to select patients justifying a further preoperative functional exploration. In total, there will be three groups of patients: those who have no cons-indication to rhinoplasty, those with an indication of aesthetic and functional rhinoseptoplasty, those with cons-indication for rhinoplasty.
